Panoramic view of Monthermé

Highlight • Viewpoint

The panoramic view of Monthermé, along the Sentier des 4 Fils Aymon, offers one of the most impressive views of the Meuse Valley in the French Ardennes. From this elevated vantage point, a picturesque scene unfolds of wooded hills, winding river tributaries, and the charming town of Monthermé nestled in a loop of the Meuse River. The view is a highlight of the hiking trail dedicated to the legendary four brothers and their horse, Bayard, and combines nature experiences with epic folklore. Thanks to well-maintained paths and informative signs, the panorama serves as both a visual and cultural highlight.

View of the Vannelles Slate Quarry

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ardoisière des Vannelles in Bogny-sur-Meuse is a former slate quarry known today primarily as a panoramic viewpoint in the Ardennes Regional Nature Park. Situated on a ridge overlooking the Meuse valley, it offers visitors impressive views of the surrounding forests, rock formations, and the town of Monthermé. Although the quarry itself is no longer active, the ruins and landscape bear witness to the region's industrial past, in which slate mining played a significant role.
