This section of the South-Ardennes greenway offers pretty passages while following the meanders of the canal. Numerous locks litter the route, punctuating your progress.

The commune of Montgon has a certain number of locks on the portion of the canal which crosses it. Number 14, bordered by the greenway, offers a nice setting for taking a little break.

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

Grandpré is a commune in the French department of Ardennes, in the Grand Est region. It has about 500 inhabitants and an area of 32.67 km². It is located on the River Aire and is part of the canton of Attigny. Grandpré has a rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages. It was an important city in Champagne, which became a county and later a duchy. It had a castle, an abbey and a fortified wall, testifying to its power and influence. One of the sights is the Église Saint-Médard, a Gothic church from the 13th century, decorated with stained glass windows and sculptures. Grandpré was also the scene of fierce fighting during the First World War. It was occupied by the Germans in 1914 and later liberated by the Americans in 1918. The village was largely destroyed by bombing and artillery. One of the monuments that commemorate this period is the Monument aux Morts, a memorial to the fallen soldiers, designed by the sculptor Paul Moreau-Vauthier. Grandpré is a quiet and charming place where you can enjoy nature and the rural atmosphere. You can walk, cycle, fish or taste the local gastronomy. One of the specialties is the boudin blanc, a white sausage made from pork, cream and spices.
