ハム＝レ＝モワンヌでののおすすめグラベルライド

For those who enjoy mountain biking and exploring beautiful passages, this hike is a great option. You'll cross beautiful trails and a medieval site (Château de Moncornet) (cover photo). There are some technical points, but they're not insurmountable.

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.

Montcornet is a small French commune which, due to its strategic and transit position, was the site of numerous battles during the two Great Wars, notably between the troops of General de Gaulle and the German army in 1940.

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.

In the afternoon you can visit the castle ruins. You get a discount on the entrance in combination with a visit to the medieval village (open air museum) Montcornu at the foot of the castle.
