Here begins the Canal des Ardennes, which connects the Meuse with the Aisne and the waterways of the Seine basin; the 106 km long canal was built during the time of King Louis Philippe (second quarter of the 19th century) and has 46 locks between Pont-à-Bar and Berry-au-Bac in the southwest.

The Canal des Ardennes, also known as the Ardennes Canal, is a canal in northeastern France that connects the Meuse basin with that of the Seine. The canal is approximately 88 kilometers long. It runs entirely through the Ardennes department, between the Meuse at Pont-à-Bar and the Aisne at Vieux-lès-Asfeld. The Canal des Ardennes was built between 1823 and 1831 to create a shorter shipping route between Belgium and the Paris region. The canal has a total of 44 locks. There is a tunnel at Saint-Aignan, known as the Tunnel of Saint-Aignan. The canal has a branch to Vouziers at Semuy. The canal was built to bridge the height differences in this hilly area as easily as possible and was therefore constructed along existing rivers as much as possible. It reaches a height of 165 meters above sea level and then descends to a height of 60.55 meters at the terminus. It is an important part of the water infrastructure in this region.

Hamlet in the commune of Dom-le-Mesnil, Pont-à-Bar includes a lock which is located on the Ardennes canal. This small town marks the start of the South-Ardennes greenway which runs along the canal for nearly 110 kilometers.

Canal which connects the Aisne and Meuse valleys.

The Flize metal bridge is an emblematic site of the First World War. In 1914, in order to limit the advance of German troops, the French mined it. In 1916, the Germans began its reconstruction, carried out mainly by Russian and Italian prisoners of war held in a work camp. Many soldiers died in these places. The Green Bridge, as Flize residents affectionately call it, was built in 1906 to provide access to the Flize steel factory. It allowed the transport by rail of the raw materials the factory needed and the departure of manufactured steel throughout Europe.
