Le Chesne is located on the watershed of the Aisne and Meuse basins, on a passage to the Argonne, the "Défilé du Chesne-Populeux". In the église Saint Jacques (13th-15th century) with a square tower there is a marble statue of Saint Bernard in bishop's robes (16th century) from the Abbaye du Mont-Dieu.

After a visit to the Grande-Chartreuse in the Dauphiné, Odo, abbot of the Abbaye Saint-Remi in Reims, founded the first Carthusian monastery in France in 1132. It covered more than 12 hectares and was surrounded by a triple wall. The monastery, so close to Protestant Sedan, suffered during the religious wars, served as a prison during the French Revolution and was then partially demolished. In the open space at the foot of the Crêtes de l'Argonne there are eight sober 17th century buildings made of pink brick, with natural stone frames on doors and windows. It is all that remains of the former monastery.

The Bairon reservoir is an artificial lake of 120 hectares divided into two parts: one for water sports and leisure activities, the other for the observation and conservation of fauna and flora. You can follow the trails around the lake and enjoy the green landscape, the singing of birds and the peaceful atmosphere. You can even observe rare species of plants and animals in the old pond, now a nature reserve. It’s an ideal destination for a run.

If you are looking for a peaceful and isolated hiking spot, you will enjoy visiting the Chartreuse du Mont-Dieu, a former monastery of the Carthusian order founded in 1132. This historic site is located in the heart of the Ardennes forest, surrounded by century-old trees and springs. You can explore the ruins of the monastery, which was rebuilt in the 17th century in a brick and stone style similar to that of Place Ducale in Charleville. You can also enjoy the natural beauty of the forest, where you may encounter wildlife such as deer, foxes or birds. The Chartreuse du Mont-Dieu is an ideal destination for a quiet and relaxing hike.

Ecluse de Semuy is a lock on the Canal des Ardennes, a canal that connects the rivers Meuse and Aisne in France. The lock is located near the village of Semuy, in the Ardennes department, in the Grand Est region. There are four locks at Semuy, numbered 23 to 26, which are part of the long descent of 27 locks from Le Chesne to the branch to Vouzier. The lock has a drop of 3.70 meters and is suitable for ships of the Fréycinet type (38.5 meters long and 5.1 meters wide). The lock is operated by the skipper with a remote control that activates the lock. Once in the lock, the skipper pulls a blue pole located inside the lock to complete the operation.

Wonderful, flat cycling route through a nature reserve with numerous stork nests. Well asphalted road along the Aisne.
