RouteXpert Review Bert Loorbach, the author, is an avid motorcyclist himself and lived in France for a year and a half. During that time, he dedicated himself to mapping France's lesser-known and beautiful back roads specifically for motorcyclists.
The first route in the book was originally called "The French Ardennes" and was 90 km long. I've slightly modified the route to a total length of 129 km. It starts and ends at Monthermé, where there's also a hotel for an overnight stay. There are also several campsites nearby and near Lake Les Mazures, which are included as points of interest.
Instead of taking the D989 to Hargnies, we take the N935 via Houdremont. From Hargnies, we drive to Vireux-Molhain. Along the way, you'll pass several villages with charming old streets, small restaurants, and pubs. Several sights, restaurants, and snack bars have been added as points of interest.
You can plan a stop in one of these towns;
- Vireux-Molhain can be paused, there are a number of snack bars and restaurants.
Fumay is the former capital of slate and is known for its purple color. The streets in the old town are very narrow and winding.
- Rocroi is a small fortified town.
- Revin can be paused, there are a number of snack bars and restaurants.
