After a few days of heavy rain we could no longer find the path, which suddenly turned into a tough walk. The first and last third are very doable (asphalt and cart track). Middle section muddy and impassable. Very nice and beautiful.

With a rich historical heritage, the town of Rethel is crossed by the famous Canal des Ardennes. This ancient city experienced significant economic expansion before being 80% destroyed by the Great Wars.

Signy-l'abbeye is a pleasant town with two hotels and, for the region, quite a few amenities, an ATM and a small supermarket. There is a large (walking) forest to the west and you will also find a campsite there. The church was built in 1900 on the site of a 16th century shrine. There was a Cistercian abbey here between 1135 and 1793.

The Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours de Neuvizy is a Catholic basilica located in the village of Neuvizy. A pilgrimage is organized in the church and on the Marial road on the outskirts of the village in May and on August 15, which has earned Neuvizy the nickname “Le Lourdes Ardennais”. Pope John Paul II decided to elevate it to a basilica in 2002. The history of this basilica began on April 30, 1752, when eight children attending catechism in Villers-le-Tourneur discovered a statuette of the Blessed Virgin, surrounded by a halo of light, near a small fountain on an oak tree in the woods from Neuvizy. They knelt down and recited the Salve Regina, the Souvenez-vous and many prayers and other songs. In 1818, a cross was erected in the forest, in the presence of Charles Poit, the last survivor of the event. At that time, the church of the village was just a simple and small structure, but after the multiplication of phenomena, pilgrims came in more and more numbers to pray before the miraculous statue placed inside the modest chapel of the village. So a bigger church had to be built. Under the impetus of the parish priest at the time, Canon Nicolas Valentin, the foundation stone for a new church was laid on May 4, 1865, in the presence of 10,000 pilgrims. This priest supervised the construction of the new sanctuary and was also the assistant architect, carpenter, painter and main sculptor. On the outside, a marble indicates that this canon rests under the trumeau of the church. Most of this religious monument was completed in late 1876.

At the crossroads, the Thugny-Trugny lock is one of the many locks that line the Ardennes canal. You might be lucky enough to see a boat passing by...
