Medieval fortress. The Château de Montcornet has retained its original appearance as a medieval sentinel. Dominating the small valley of the Sormonne, the rock of Mont Cornu has been occupied since the 12th century by a fortress, abandoned in the 17th century. The ruins of the "Colisée Feudal de Montcornet", dear to Michelet, have been cleared and the underground passages now house an exhibition space.More info at www-ardennes-com.translate.goog/patrimoine-culturel/chateau-de-montcornet-en-ardenne/?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=nl&_x_tr_pto=sc

Beautiful and varied walk between fields and meadows and through forest. On the way you pass through a few villages, go around a walled castle and pass the well-preserved ruins of an old fortress in Monthermé.
