Magnificent view on a clear day. A few minutes of rest is good after this climb++

Mont Saint-Walfroy was formerly a place of pagan worship, then a hermitage of Saint Walfroy, the apostle of the Ardennes. You will appreciate the panoramic views of the Meuse valley and the surrounding forests, as well as the historical and religious importance of this place. Along the way, you will pass by the Chapelle Saint-Donat, a small chapel dedicated to a local saint.

Mount Saint-Walfroy or hermitage of Saint-Walfroy is a hill in the Ardennes. The summit reaches its peak at 350 meters above sea level. Almost 200 meters lower, the villages are spread out in their valleys, where the rivers meander. To reach Saint-Walfroy you have to climb steep paths. Once at the top, the panorama extends over the Maas and the Ardennes. It is a former place of pagan worship, chosen as a hermitage in the 6th century by Walfroy the Stylite and has since become a place of worship and pilgrimage. This site thus becomes a witness to the vicissitudes of the history of the French Catholic Church and the history of an Ardennes territory, in the immediate vicinity of the border.

Welcome to Brouennes, a commune in the French department of Meuse (Grand Est region) and with a bit of luck you can meet one of the few residents here.

Wear walking shoes

I was pleasantly surprised with the view after the intense climb. The decent (heading north) is quite steep in the first section.
