Ardennes

PONT-A-BAR, DINANT-ANSEREMME
Canal de la Meuse, Meuse, Canal des Ardennes, Canal de l’Aisne à la Marne


The word Ardennes means in Celtic « dense forest ».  Cruising the waterways from the base at Pont-à-Bar, and breathing in the pure country air, you will understand how the area acts as a lung to Europe.  

Home of wild boar, roe-deer and some of France’s rarest birds, the Ardennes forests also shelter in their protected wetlands such rarities as orchids and the fly-catching sundew.  

You will be charmed by the Meuse as it twists and loops its way to Charleville-Mezières. 

Beyond, deeper into the Ardennes, there are delightful towns to cruise to across the Belgian border.  With its 650 km  of cruising waterway, the Champagne Ardennes region offers scope and variety.
