Absolutely perfect railway line cycle path. Lots of rest areas and lots of little things along the way.

Just took a photo from the outside. Nice to look at.

This casemate is typical of that encountered along the Maginot Line. This fortification line was built in the 1930s to prevent a German invasion. The casemates of the La Neuville-aux-Joutes forest mainly served as shelters for troops and locations for machine guns and light artillery.

Momignies is located on the French border west of Chimay. The village was crossed by a railway line which has now become a slow lane reserved for walkers and cyclists. On August 31, 1942, a convoy en route to Germany stopped in this small village. It was made up of three locomotives and thirty cattle cars carrying 1,500 prisoners, most of the Canadians having been taken prisoner during the Battle of Dieppe on August 19, 1942. It was very hot and the men were crowded together in inhumane conditions. The convoy will remain at the dock for ten hours. We can imagine that the prisoners will take advantage of the stop to heckle and shout their thirst and hunger! The villagers, attracted by the noise, rush to the station and quickly understand that they must help the unfortunate Allied soldiers. They will then negotiate with the Germans for long hours to finally obtain authorization to relieve the prisoners' misery by supplying them with water and food.

In recognition of the population of mummies towards the Canadian nation

The RAVeL Ligne 156 is a cycling route in Wallonia that runs from Momignies to Hastière. The route is divided into two stages: the first stage (27.5 Km) runs from Momignies to Mariembourg (Couvin) and the second stage (30 Km) runs from Mariembourg to Hastière. The route offers many surprises, such as forests, bogs, an open-air museum, the castle of the Princes of Chimay, the Aquascope of Virelles, a beautiful tourist train in three valleys, a river, nature reserves and of course gastronomic specialties and regional breweries. The missing section between the industrial zone (N5) and Mariembourg station will be developed in the short term
