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.

This magnificent building is located in the center of Raucourt-et-Flaba. While its parish would have been founded in the year 400. The Saint-Nicaise church dates from 1061. The work has retained its appearance of the time, despite restorations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Inside, there are three altars and a remarkable baptismal font made up of a carved Givet stone tank.

The Grand church is worth a stop. It offers a curious contrast between the massive tower of its facade and its delicate bell tower.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. Many places and monuments that you encounter along the way are a testament to the horror of war and tyranny - which is still significant and relevant today. They all have, and this is new for each generation, two essential functions: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Call for the preservation of peace

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.

The Castle of Grandpré is located in Grandpré, in the Ardennes, France. It was built by the Joyeuse, Counts of Grandpré, at the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century. For a long time, the place has been strategically located on the northern slope of the Aire valley, controlling one of the rare passages that cross the Argonne forest. This is the Grandpré passage.
