Top 34 things to do and attractions in Charleville-Mezieres

Interesting and unexpected take on the concept of a 'museum'. It's more a series of experiences (of whispered poetry in the blue room at the top) and impressions. Certainly worth a visit, even if you are not particularly an Arthur Rimbaud fan.

Very welcoming staff. The museum is interestingly organised However, the floor where there are voices reciting famous Rimbaud writings is only of interest if you have read the works.

Great city Beautiful architecture Amazing Place Ducale Belle Meuse

Nicely done, interesting museum. It's not big, but very informative. Much of the info only available in French.

You need to be a fan of Rimbaud to enjoy this museum. I was hoping to see more of the original mill.

I’ve never been there. But it’s Rimbaud, so… Peak Fr

All in French. Not so interesting.

Adequate pitch. Good location for the town. Facilities OK but 'tired' and unloved...had clearly seen better days. No Internet. No seating eg picnic tables for basic campers ( walkers and cyclists).

I'm in love! Ghent is great! Manchester is cool! Reims is ok. I could go on...this os a great park just outside of Charleville Mézières...so cross the parc and dive in the city centre...

Lovely public park. Cycle paths & lots of play areas.

Perfect location. Next to the river. Full facilities and a laundry to boot. Plenty of trees for shade Can get a bit noisy from locals leaving the bar down the road, but if your a heavy sleeper you won't hear them.

Nice shady pitches. Welcoming receptionist and shops not too far. Nice ablutions.

Location seems great, though I arrived at 17:50 and reception was long since closed when it specifies on the door itself and website ..18:00. I just walked in and camped regardless. Upkeep was visibly lacking with trash and overgrown pitches, and no security either when there are groups of migrants wandering in the periphery. Strange vibes indeed, and accompanied by lots of evening mosquitos. Maybe it was an unlucky day, though....no 24 hour staff for a campsite this large is really not good, and no security either...

Nice park with a camping and boat harbor.

Entry to this museum is included in the ticket to the Rimbaud museum in the old mill Rimbaud museum on the Meuse and the Ardennes museum in place ducale. This historic house is transformer into multiple galleries of various art and artists. Some galleries are modern and others are traditional. It is a great way to preserve an historic house, which would become a restaurant or an inn to survive.

(Translated by Google) Oddly enough, there's nothing but empty, slightly dilapidated rooms and a few photos each accompanied by a short text. And yet it's very evocative of this elsewhere that Rimbaud sought all his life. Emptiness and dreams. We were alone during our visit. Charm guaranteed. (Original) Bizarrement il n y a rien que des pièces vides un peu délabrées et quelques photos à chaque fois accompagnées d un texte court. Et pourtant c est très évocateur de cet ailleurs que Rimbaud a cherché toute sa vie. Le vide et les rêves. Nous étions seuls lors de notre visite. Charme assuré

(Translated by Google) To be combined with the Arthur Rimbaud museum. Quite empty but completes the museum (Original) A combiner avec le musée d'Arthur Rimbaud. Assez vide mais complète le musée

(Translated by Google) The place is steeped in history, as Rimbaud lived there, but there's no trace of it other than remnants of wallpaper. Exhibition I didn't really care for: very modern, literary. Luckily, it was free that day. (Original) Le lieu est empreint d'histoire puisque rimbaud y a vécu mais aucune trace à part des restes de papier peint. Exposition à laquelle je n'ai pas accroché : très moderne, littéraire . Heureusement c'était gratuit ce jour là

(Translated by Google) I don't even understand how anyone can charge for such a visit. The house is completely empty, with amateur poems on the walls. Save your time. I strongly advise against it! What a scam!!! (Original) Je ne comprends même pas comment on peut faire payer une telle visite. Maison entièrement vide, poèmes au murs d amateurs. Gagner votre temps. Je déconseille vivement ! Quelle arnaque !!!

(Translated by Google) I don't see the connection with the current exhibition and Arthur Rimbaud... he certainly lived there but it's of no real interest. (Original) Je ne vois pas le rapport avec l'exposition actuelle et Arthur rimbaud... certes il y a vécu mais aucun intérêt vraiment.

(Translated by Google) A must-see The Maison des Ailleurs is a place dedicated to the poet Arthur Rimbaud, in his hometown of Charleville-Mézières. It is located on the same quay and a few meters from the Arthur-Rimbaud Museum. The link between these two complementary establishments is embodied by the poem-chairs by Quebec artist Michel Goulet, entitled L'Alchimie des Ailleurs. The Maison des Ailleurs was created in a building where one of the apartments was inhabited by the Rimbaud family in the 19th century. Arthur Rimbaud's mother, Vitalie Rimbaud (née Cuif), and her children lived there from 1869 to 1875. The Rimbaud family lived on the first floor, in a 120-square-meter apartment. Arthur Rimbaud was aged between 15 and 21 at the time. This was the most creative period of his life in terms of his literary work, but it was also the one in which he ran away from home on numerous occasions. It was a period of adolescence, of rejection of family life and the social constraints that his mother wanted him to respect, of disgust with the town of Charleville and of dreams of other horizons. (Original) un lieu à voir La Maison des Ailleurs est un lieu consacré au poète Arthur Rimbaud, dans sa ville natale de Charleville-Mézières. Elle est située sur le même quai et à quelques mètres du musée Arthur-Rimbaud. Le lien entre ces deux établissements complémentaires est matérialisé par les chaises-poèmes de l'artiste québécois Michel Goulet, intitulées L'Alchimie des Ailleurs. La Maison des Ailleurs a été créée dans un immeuble dont un des appartements a été habité par la famille Rimbaud au XIXe siècle. La mère d'Arthur Rimbaud, Vitalie Rimbaud (née Cuif), et ses enfants y ont vécu de 1869 à 1875. La famille Rimbaud habitait au premier étage, dans un appartement de cent vingt mètres carrés. Arthur Rimbaud est alors âgé de 15 à 21 ans. C'est la période de sa vie la plus créatrice du point de vue de son œuvre littéraire, mais c'est aussi celle où il multiplie les fugues. C'est une période d'adolescence, de refus de la vie familiale et des carcans sociaux que sa mère souhaitait qu'il respecte, de dégoût de la ville de Charleville et de rêve d'autres horizons.

(Translated by Google) A place of history to visit. Obviously, there is a lot of work to be done on identical reconstruction by the association responsible for development. The underground journey makes us aware of the difficulties of life for soldiers in this place at the end of the 19th century. We must help the goodwill of the association through our visits. (Original) Un lieu d'histoire à visiter. Visiblement, il y a un gros travail de reconstruction à l'identique par l'association chargée de la mise en valeur. Le parcours souterrain nous fait prendre conscience des difficultés de vie des soldats dans ce lieu à la fin du XIXeme siècle. Il faut aider les bonnes volontés de l'association par nos visites.

(Translated by Google) Having come here thanks to Geocaching, we certainly appreciated the exterior of the fort. It's wooded and well-maintained. The explanatory panels allow us to learn more about the fort and the soldiers, including the history of the governor. The fort was closed, but we will definitely return to visit the interior. (Original) Venu ici grâce au Geocaching nous aurons forcément apprécié l'extérieur du fort. C'est boisé et bien entretenu. Les panneaux explicatifs permettent d'en apprendre d'avantage sur le fort et les soldats, notamment l'histoire du gouverneur. Le fort était fermé mais nous reviendrons visiter l'intérieur assurément.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant walk, easy to access with ample parking. And finish on foot. We couldn't enter the fort. Well located, a place discovered by chance, a play area for children with tall grass and I think a bowling green. (Original) Promenade agréable, facile d'accès avec un grand parking. Et finir à pied. On ne pouvait pas rentrer dans le fort. Bien situé, un endroit découvert par hasard, un coin jeu pour les enfants avec c'est hautes herbes et je penses un terrain de boules.

(Translated by Google) Unable to visit while I was within opening hours. A telephone number on a board: messaging. There were several cars of us leaving. I received a call the next day to inform me that I could come through. Too bad I was no longer there. (Original) Impossible de visiter alors que j'étais dans les horaires d'ouverture. Un numéro de téléphone sur un tableau : messagerie. Nous étions plusieurs voitures à repartir. J ai eu le droit à un appel le lendemain pour m'informer que je pouvais passer. Dommage je n'étais plus sur place.

(Translated by Google) Fort is completely fenced in and mostly overgrown. It is no longer possible to visit this. Only a tour around the fort, which is secured with a high fence, would still be possible. But there is almost nothing to see - keep going. (Original) Fort ist komplett eingezäunt und größtenteils zugewuchert. Es ist nicht mehr möglich, dieses zu besichtigen. Einzig ein Rundgang um das Fort, das mit einem hohen Zaun gesichert ist, wäre noch möglich. Es gibt aber so gut wie nichts zu sehen - gehen sie weiter.

(Translated by Google) Reservations for visits (Original) Réservations pour visiter

(Translated by Google) This place looks well maintained and pleasant, too bad it was not open during its opening period. We were disappointed not to be able to visit it. (Original) Ce lieu à l'air bien entretenu et agréable, dommage que celui ci n'était pas ouvert pendant sa période d'ouverture. Nous avons été déçu de ne pas pouvoir le visiter.

One of the top the museums in Charleville, located on the Southeast corner of Place ducale. The ticket includes entry to two more museums in the city. Interesting objects of art, history, and culture for both children as well as adults. Everything is in balance and well displayed. A visit to the small bookstore is worth the extra time. Also look out for special exhibits in the gallery adjacent to the bookstore.

Placed at the southeast corner in Place Ducale. In winter time, reduced opening times, please check attached pictures with details. A saving option is to get a combined ticket for the Musée Rimbaud as well. A good place to park free your vehicle is Place Jacques Félix, at 5 minutes walking distance.

Had a lovely hour walking through this museum and seeing the archaeological finds of the Ardennes. Was surprised that the marionnettes we wanted to see where housed inside here and that we could watch the clock and see the entire movement of the housing for them on the top floor of the museum. We were surprised that it seems one of the advertisements had a picture of either WWI or WW2, but there were no displays having to do with war time here. That of course leaves room for all the other parts! Was definitely a nice stop.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) So here you are in something very interesting and truly complete, it's huge and the tour route is well studied, the progression of the themes and exhibition pieces is excellent and well done. It's modern, the lighting, signage and explanatory panels highlight the windows and numerous objects. You can't imagine everything there is to see in this place, it's incredible, such diversity, it's more and more beautiful as you wander around, what wonder and discoveries. In addition, you end up behind the scenes of the machinery and mechanism of the clock of the great puppeteer, which will be on view at the end of your visit outside the museum on the adjoining square, an animated show lasting a few minutes at the right times. The price of the visit is very cheap (here we understand everything about the culture) do not hesitate to take the combined ticket 3 sites (with the Rimbaud museum and the museum of elsewhere) inexpensive!! Well done to the very friendly team. (Original) Alors là vous êtes dans du très intéressant et vraiment complet, c'est immense et le cheminement de visite est bien étudié, la progression des thèmes et pièces d'exposition est excellente et bien faite. C'est moderne l'éclairage, le fléchage et panneaux explicatifs mettent en valeur les vitrines et nombreux objets. Vous ne pouvez imaginer tout ce qu'il y a à voir en cet endroit, c'est incroyable une telle diversité, c'est de plus en plus beau lors de votre déambulation, quel émerveillement et découvertes. De plus, vous finissez par l'envers du décors de la machinerie et mécanisme de l'horloge du grand marionnettiste, qui sera à voir à la fin de votre visite à l'extérieur du musée sur la place attenante, spectacle animé de quelques minutes aux heures justes. Le prix de visite est très bon marché (ici on a tout compris de la culture) ne pas hésiter à prendre le billet combiné 3 sites (avec le musée Rimbaud et musée des ailleurs) peu cher!! bravo à l'équipe très aimable.

(Translated by Google) A rather cold welcome with the children. The museum is pleasant and covers many different periods and themes. But it is clearly not designed for family visits. There are no games to encourage children to discover things on their own. In any case, nothing was offered to us. In any case, we were expressly asked to keep our children close to us, without them going from one room to another to discover freely on their own... (Original) Accueil plutôt froid avec les enfants. Le musée est agréable et couvre plein de périodes et thèmes différents. Mais il n’est clairement pas fait pour les visites en famille. Il n’y a pas de jeux pour inciter les enfants à découvrir les choses par eux même. En tout cas, rien ne nous a été proposé. De toute manière, on a nous demandé expressément de bien tenir nos enfants près de nous, sans qu’ils aillent d’une salle à l’autre découvrir librement en autonomie …

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful museum; the blend of the old building and the glass wall is very harmonious, and above all, the richness of the collections is breathtaking. (Original) Très beau musée et le mélange entre l'ancien bâtiment et ce mur en verre et très harmonieux et surtout la richesse des collections est époustouflante

Great choice for a short walk in nature. Having the chance to see the local wild fauna up close is refreshing and filling with curiosity any soul, either adult or young!

Great park for a walk and to see the many dear, goats and boars. Upon entry we got a bag of food to feed the deer. It was amazing. Free entry. Point of attention: all the toilets are squatting toilets and not ones you can sit on.

Well set out park of various local wildlife, including various breeds of deer, boars, sheep, chickens and goats. If you are lucky the Red deer will be nearer the fence for good photo's

We stop somewhere on the way to Brussel. And found this zoo :) its a very good place to take a walk.. surrounded by nature and loveing animals. The parking is free and there’s no entrance fee. Worth to visit ☺️✨

Very cute park with animals in their natural habitats. When early you can take a small bag with food for the goats, sheeps, pigs and deer if they want some. Very scenic and wide enclosures for the animals, you can see they're being taken good care of. Amazing to do just at opening time to enjoy the peace and quiet. Some signs (only french) about the animals and other fun facts. Fun and educational. Toilets also there, note they're only squatting toilets. Bring binoculars to enjoy the park to its fullest. On busy weekend times on the parking lot an ice cream truck appears.

Best place to calm down, and enjoy nature while seeing and feeding local animals. The staff was super friendly

Free parking, free entry and free food to give to the animals. Great little park where you can feed wild boar, deer, goats and other animals.

It is one of the best churches with stained glass. It is an old church, but the windows are modern 1970. Picasso was asked but suggested another artist with similar views. One of those gems that are outside the places the standard tourists visits.

Stunning interior, colours from sunlight through the windows is glorious. Don’t be put off by the shabby exterior!

Definitely you shall visit. It's simple inside but somehow it's very pleasant to seat and observe the interior.

A peaceful church where one can go to look at abstract stained glass windows. Light a candle at the statue of the black virgin of you want your hopes fulfilled. There are guide pages on how to interpret the art. The history of the church is quite fascinating. It has been destroyed and rebuilt many times over.

This church is a must! The windows are very unique, even though it looks like one more gothic church, the windows glass makes the difference. It was all made by the same artist almost 59 years ago and there is some information about it inside!

Amazing stained glass by Ardennes native from Bar-le-Duc, René Dürrbach. Do visit late afternoon before sunset to enjoy the tranquility of the Basilica and natural light coming throughout the stained glass windows.

This church have a great history, if you have the opportunity to listen to the organ, it makes the place magic.

3 types of melon starter and chocolate souffle dessert were especially good. Friendly staff who made the effort to accommodate non-french speaking guests. The wait for the courses was quite long but that might have been due to a busy evening. Great experience and would recommend!

What a wonderful surprise in the almost deserted town of Charleville (on a rainy day during August holidays)! Through a quiet passage you enter a friendly welcome area in front of an impressive open kitchen. The restaurant is downstairs in an impressive, yet cozy cellar vault. Very friendly waiters (fluent in french. English and dutch) accomodated us. The menu offered just the right extent of choices, and so did the winelist. We enjoyed Arthurs Cocktail as apéritif, followed by a dry white Cote de Beaune (2021). Entrées were a sublime tarte with zucchini (courgettes) on a bed of curry espuma, topped with coco icecream and aubergine wrapped couscous with oriental flavors. Main courses: Scallops with black rice and the most tender and tasty beef filet with morel sauce. And for a finish: coffee gourmand, of course. We were delighted, filled and totally satisfied!

The meals were superb and the presentation superior. The staff were friendly and helpful even though there was a language barrier. It was a great find and highly recommended.

Amazing experience, each course was delicious and the atmosphere was unique

Quality food & wine! Friendly staff. Nice ambiance!

Good food and service. Prices a little high. House red wine was poor.

Great service, great food and price was not to high. I'm revisiting as soon as possible.

Lovely city to wander around and very good choice and value for money food

Beautiful place with several activities happening, huge sand pit for volleyball, where our son ended up playing a lot, very kids friendly and many excellent options for food just around this square.

A nice and beautiful place. Several restaurants and bar on the place. During my visit, works were carryout.

Huge cobbled square surrounded by tall 19th Century buildings of similar design. Markets held here on certain days.

Beautiful architecture and relaxed bars/restaurants surround this large historic focal point of the old town. A great place to soak up the atmosphere, if you don't mind the large marquee which dominates one half of the square.

Lovely to spend time here

A beautiful square. I was there with 'Frolicked' for the international puppet festival and it was always packed with buskers and shows and lovely people. The bars around the square are also lovely; recommend 'La Mantoue'.

We booked La Papillote last minute as my sister is at the local hospital. Booking the room was very prompt, location is very central near the busy square. Food and service was just perfect, thank you. Kind regards. Teresa.

Great food, good price, gastronomic level

not as expected it's more bed 'n breakfast then hotel the booking website said with parking, but that's just public parking in the street (which is very cheap) breakfast: only bread with sweet topping (no cheese, no eggs) the price is okay for what you get, but I expected a bit more when booking "hotel" there's a big square at 2 min walking distance with lot's of restaurant terraces

I've known this restaurant for quite a while, it is the best restaurant in the region, the food is exceptional, the service is impeccable. You have a la carte menu and also 3 choices of menu to your liking. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're ever in Charleville-Mézières.

top place to stay... our room was more like a suite... nice breakfast... we should have tried the restaurant, but we'll be back

Excellent cuisine and super staff

Excellent dishes and nice service. Very decent price for a three course menue. Loved it.

There's one mini show per hour, presenting in total 12 scenes during the day. If you want to know more about its story or just have a peek at the hidden mechanism, you can check out the museum.

Oh dear. We made a special trip back here at 2pm as I insisted we should watch the show. We needn't really have bothered. In honesty I wasn't expecting it to work at all, it looks very tired & there's fencing around the lower level. At 2pm the red doors opened, the mouth went up & down & the two puppets inside moved a bit. I'm glad we went back to see it, but it really wasn't worth the effort. It's a shame, as no doubt with a bit of effort it could be fully restored & wonderful again. PS. the legs don't move!

Unfortunately it's old and not restored back to it's old glory. At 5 o'clock the curtain went open... at 5.05 the curtainw as closed...no show was seen 😅

Interesting giant puppet mechanic clock showing different performances at o'clock hours.

Cool unique show every hour (it's like a mechanic clock). Very interesting as a show, but even more interesting when you learn about the marionette culture around it...

Super

(Translated by Google) Beautiful masterpiece if only it were maintained... Now you have to find a time when it works more or less. 2 p.m. today, no sound. 6 p.m., sound, but only the head moves and no longer the hands like before. Lots of disappointed tourists and children. (Original) Beau chef d'oeuvre si seulement il était entretenu... Il faut désormais tomber sur une heure où cela fonctionne à peu près. 14h aujourd'hui aucun son. 18h du son mais seule la tête bouge et plus les mains comme auparavant. Beaucoup de touristes et d'enfants déçus.

Quite austere feel but the windows break it up with colourful shafts of light. Very unusual pulpit. Vast scale not appreciated from outside.

Nice church. Worst visiting.

A beautiful church

Beautiful church

Undefull

Nice

(Translated by Google) Although there are older and more richly decorated churches, this church has many special and beautiful places to admire. (Original) Hoewel er oudere en meer rijk gedecoreerde kerken zijn, heeft deze kerk een heleboel bijzondere en mooie plekjes die je kunt bewonderen.

(Translated by Google) You should also renovate the vending machines... On several occasions there are either parts that don't work or when we pay by credit card we don't get our products so in the end it's wasted money! Renovate or repair your vending machines! (Original) Il faudrait aussi que vous rénovez les distributeurs... À plusieurs reprises il y a soit les pièce qui ne passe pas ou alors quand on paye par carte bancaire on n'a pas notre produits donc au final c'est de l'argent perdu!

Lots of potential for development and reconversion to create a new working and culture spaces

The site is remarkable and very well presented. (Original) Temporairement ouvert au public, il faut profiter de ces derniers jours. Face B et le festival des marionnettes, ça ne durent pas toutes l'année. Le site est remarquable et très bien mis en valeur.

(Translated by Google) Adolphe Clément is one of these “jack of all trades” and visionary pioneers who made his fortune in the cycle and automobile industry. The “Clément” then “Clément-Gladiator” and finally “Clément Bayard” automobiles enjoyed great success, including for export. This factory is the only one that will be preserved in 1919 when Adolphe Clément ceded the rest of his Parisian industrial empire to his famous son-in-law André... Citroën! Aware that mass construction left no chance for "artisan" builders, he intelligently converted La Macérien into subcontracting which continued until the 1980s when the site closed. The site cannot be visited but a renovation program carried out by the municipality should give the site a new cultural and economic future. (Original) Adolphe Clément est un de ces pionniers "touche à tout" et visionnaire qui fit fortune dans l'industrie du cycle et de l'automobile. Les automobiles "Clément" puis "Clément-Gladiator" et enfin "Clément Bayard" connaitront un grand succès y compris à l'exportationl. Cette usine est la seule qui sera conservée en 1919 lorsqu' Adolphe Clément cèdera le reste son empire industriel parisien à son célèbre beau-fils André ... Citroën ! Conscient que la construction en grande série ne laissait aucune chance aux constructeurx "artisans", il reconverti intelligemment La Macérienne dans la sous traitance qui perdura jusque dans les années 80 date de fermeture du site. Le site ne se visite pas mais un programme de renovation menée par la municipalité devrait redonner au site un nouvel avenir culturel et économique.

Nice festival

(Translated by Google) What a disappointment! Coming since my early youth, I no longer recognize the atmosphere that there was before. Very few street shows, “off”, animations (openings). The prison square which has become a place to eat, a simple market. All the visitors we met were disappointed. I find that the festival has lost its former magic... there are as many food stands and refreshments as there are shows in the streets. However, the program of shows remains varied and numerous but few places. You have to get started early. Inflation must play a major role but with both an edition, we should do better and remedy the creation of atmospheres of the past. PS: the pedestrian street has become the gourmet alley rather than anything else. (Original) Quel déception ! Venant depuis ma tendre jeunesse, je ne reconnais plus l’ambiance qu’il y avait avant. Très peu de spectacle de rues, de « off », d’animations (ouvertures). Le square de la prison qui est devenu un lieu de restauration, un simple marché. L’ensemble des visiteurs rencontrés étaient déçu. Je trouve que le festival a perdu sa magie d’avant.. on retrouve autant de stand de restauration et de buvettes que de spectacle dans les rues. Cependant le programme des spectacles restent variés et nombreux mais peu de places. Il faut s’y prendre tôt. L’inflation doit jouer un rôle majeur mais avec une edition tout les deux, il faudrait faire mieux et remédier à la création d’ambiances d’autrefois. PS : la rue piétonne est devenue l’allée gourmande plutôt qu’autre chose.

Amazing Experience! Main square is full of attractions. The festival has it own special place to perform several puppet shows. Lots of food and stall but also lots of people. Be aware with parking (impossible to park in the city).

(Translated by Google) It takes patience to get someone on the phone. When we get there we come across a secretary who sends us off, barely seems to want to give information and even less to offer an answer All this to collect papers after a birth, if the hospital does everything to simplify the procedures, the town hall is a big deal while collecting a family record book and a birth certificate must take 15 minutes. For the future parents it would already have been simpler if, as before, they were sent directly to the hospital or at least made the withdrawal easier because it's nonsense, no clear information given Seriously worth seeing again!!!! (Original) Il faut de la patience pour arriver à avoir quelqu un au téléphone. Quand on y arrive on tombe sur une secrétaire qui nous expédie, semble à peine avoir envie de donner des informations et encore moins de proposer une réponse Tout ça pour récupérer des papiers après une naissance, si l hôpital fait tout pour simplifier les démarches, la mairie c est tout une histoire alors que le retrait d un livret de famille et d un acte de naissance doit prendre 15min. Pour les futur parents se serai déjà plus simple que se soit comme avant envoyé directement à l hôpital ou au moins facilité le retrait car la c est n importe quoi, aucunes informations claires données A revoir sérieusement !!!!

(Translated by Google) As motorhome owners passing through to visit your beautiful city and perhaps leave some of our money for the local businesses, we parked in your magnificent motorhome park by the marina. We had a horrible night; in 15 years of motorhoming, we have never, ever had a night like that, due to the incivility of young people who think they can get away with anything: honking horns, drifting, loud music, chattering less than 3 meters from us, and litter thrown into the motorhome area (then they say that motorhome owners leave their rubbish lying around and ban them from city centers). All this until 4 a.m., despite a large sign stating that it was prohibited except for motorhomes and residents.

(Translated by Google) I requested birth certificates through the Public Service on July 10, 2025 at 8:24 a.m. I called the Charleville-Mézières town hall, the reception told me that they could not reach the civil registry, so they would inquire there, nothing had been done, telling me that they were doing the necessary, still nothing, I needed these certificates for the AGIRC-ARRCO, what's the madness, they told me it's the holidays lol, they have a convenient excuse for holidays!! When I requested birth certificates in other municipalities like for the death of my father, always going through the Public Service within 48 hours I received it, hello wake up Charleville-Mézières!! (Original) J'ai demandé des actes de naissance en passant par le Service-Public le 10 Juillet 2025 à 08h24 , j'ai téléphoné à la mairie de Charleville-Mézières, l'accueil me dit qu'elle n'arrive pas joindre l'état civile, elle va donc se renseigner sur place, rien n'avait été fait, me disant qu'elle faisait le nécessaire , toujours rien, j'avais besoin de ces actes pour l' AGIRC-ARRCO, c'est quoi le délire , on me répond c'est les vacances lol , ils ont bon dos les vacances !! Quand j'ai demandé des actes de naissance dans d'autres communes comme pour le décès de mon père, toujours en passant par le Service-Public sous 48 heures je l'ais est reçu , allo réveille Charleville-Mézières !!

(Translated by Google) I would put a zero these are incompetent people who work at the town hall of Charleville-Mézières these people leave at 5 p.m. we call a service at 4:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. no line is available but of course you were just in a hurry to get out and you no longer answer the phone from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. that's all so go and do it because people who work like that disgust me and say that our taxes go into your paychecks it's even worse (Original) Je mettrais bien un zéro ce sont des incompétents qui travaillent à la mairie de Charleville-Mézières ces personnes quitte a 17h on appelle un service à 16h30 jusqu'à 17h aucune ligne n'est disponible mais bien sûr vous étiez juste très pressé de vous barrer et vous ne répondez plus au téléphone de 16h30 à 17h c'est tout donc aller vous faire car les gens qui travaillent comme ça ça me dégoûte et dire que nos impôts partent dans vos paies c'est encore pire

(Translated by Google) Incapable town hall I applied for a birth certificate two months ago and still haven't heard anything. Now living 700 km from my birthplace, I find myself making a round trip just for a document! A disgrace! (Original) Mairie d’incapable Demande d’acte de naissance effectué il y’a 2 mois et toujours aucune nouvelle, vivant maintenant à 700km de mon lieux de naissance je me retrouve à faire un aller-retour juste pour un papier ! Une honte

(Translated by Google) A most deplorable standard. No guidance even though I knew what I wanted and in the end I was given bad information. I had to go there to understand that the secretary wasn't capable of much. And saying hello costs nothing but even that is too much for her. (Original) Un standard des plus déplorables. Aucune orientation alors que je savais ce que je voulais et au final on me donne de mauvaises informations. J'ai dû aller sur place pour comprendre que la secrétaire n'était pas capable de grand-chose. Et dire bonjour ne coûte rien mais même ça c'est trop pour elle.

Even during busy periods, the team remains attentive and efficient. A real pleasure to come here – I highly recommend it! (Original) Un accueil souriant et attentionné, des produits frais et délicieux : cette boulangerie allie qualité et service irréprochable. Même en période d’affluence, l’équipe reste à l’écoute et efficace. Un vrai plaisir de venir ici – je recommande sans hésiter !

(Translated by Google) The worst bread I have ever eaten in a long time. Soft crust, elastic crumb. We wonder if the bread is made on site or if it is industrial bread. (Original) Le pain le plus mauvais qu'il m'ait été donné de manger depuis bien longtemps. Croûte molle, mie élastique. On se demande si le pain est fait sur place ou s'il s'agit de pain industriel.

(Translated by Google) Good bakery, several downsides during my visits a lot of waiting at the checkout, the sandwiches can be garnished with ham or others but a lot of salad a little greasy I find, they are not prepared in advance not easy when working, and to review your credit card device, the pastries are a little expensive in my opinion even if they are homemade, congratulations to the pastry chefs. (Original) Bonne boulangerie,plusieurs bémol lors de mes visites beaucoup attente à la caisse,les sandwichs peut garnie en jambon ou autres mais beaucoup de salade un peut gras je trouve,ils ne sont pas préparés à l'avance pas simple quand on travaille, et à revoir votre appareil à carte bleu,les pâtisserie un peut cher je trouve même si son fait maison félicitations aux pâtissiers.

(Translated by Google) Divine experience for chocolate lovers! If you're looking for an unforgettable sensory experience, this chocolatier is a must. Each bite is an invitation to travel through the rich and complex aromas of cocoa. I was captivated by the passion and craftsmanship behind each square of chocolate. The tasting is a true symphony of flavors - from fruity and floral notes to subtle accents of nuts and honey. What makes this place so unique is their dedication to the quality of cocoa beans and their careful manufacturing process which is reflected in every creation. In addition, the team is incredibly welcoming and knows their job perfectly. They are always ready to share their expertise and recommend surprising flavor combinations. In short, if you are a chocolate lover looking for an incomparable taste experience, look no further. (Original) Expérience divine pour les amateurs de chocolat!

La dégustation est une véritable symphonie de saveurs - depuis les notes fruitées et florales jusqu'aux subtils accents de noix et de miel. Ce qui rend ce lieu si unique, c'est leur dévouement à la qualité des fèves de cacao et leur processus de fabrication minutieux qui se reflètent dans chaque création. De plus, l'équipe est incroyablement accueillante et connaît parfaitement son métier. Ils sont toujours prêts à partager leur expertise et à recommander des associations de saveurs surprenantes. En bref, si vous êtes un amateur de chocolat à la recherche d'une expérience gustative incomparable, ne cherchez pas plus loin.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and imposing 16th century tower. Originally, it was part of the vast fortification complex of the town of Mézières. From the other bank of the Meuse, the tower is visible in its entirety and the bell tower of the Notre-Dame-d'Espérance Basilica can be seen in the distance. Completely restored a few years ago, the monument is accessible by guided tour. Information from the tourist office. Nearby, you can also see the Milard Tower and the La Macérien factory, other emblematic places in the city. (Original) Belle et imposante tour du XVIe siècle. À l’origine, elle faisait partie du vaste ensemble de fortification de la ville de Mézières. Depuis l’autre rive de la Meuse, la tour est visible dans son intégralité et le clocher de la Basilique Notre-Dame-d’Espérance se laisse entrevoir au loin. Entièrement restauré il y a quelques années, le monument est accessible en visite guidée. Renseignements auprès de l’office de tourisme. À proximité, on aperçoit également la Tour Milard et l’usine La Macérienne, autres lieux emblématiques de la ville.

(Translated by Google) The fortifications of Mézières erected under Charlemagne saw the construction in 1544 of the Milard and Du Roy towers on the orders of François I after the siege of the city by the Burgundian troops of Charles V. A strategic border site for the defense of the Kingdom of France, the urban enclosure continues to be modernized but will be decommissioned after the war of 1870. If the 13th century gates and the Vauban bastions are destroyed, the towers and ramparts are partly preserved, the last witnesses of the urban wall of Mézières. The Tour du Roy has benefited from a major renovation to allow guided tours, information to be obtained from the Tourist office. (Original) Les fortifications de Mézières érigées sous Charlemagne voient l'édification en 1544, des tours Milard et Du Roy sur ordre de François Ier après le siège de la ville par les troupes bourguignonnes ce Charles Quint. Lieu frontière stratégique de défense du royaume de France, l’enceinte urbaine ne cesse d'être modernisée mais sera déclassée après la guerre de 1870. Si les portes du XIIIème siècle et les bastions Vauban sont détruits, les tours et rempart sont en partie conservés, derniers témoins de l'enceinte urbaine de Mézières. La Tour du Roy a bénéficié une profonde rénovation pour permettre des visites guidées, renseignements à prendre auprès de l'office du Tourisme.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful restoration through reintegration apparently, surely an association. Impressive old method outside DTU 😂, what I call a real restoration of period works! (Original) Belle restauration par de la réinsertion apparemment, sûrement une association. Méthode ancienne impressionnante hors DTU 😂 , ce que j'appelle une vraie restauration d'ouvrages d'époque !

(Translated by Google) Only the tower can be seen, not accessible (Original) Enkel de toren te zien niet toegankelijk

(Translated by Google) Beautiful fortification work. It’s a shame that we can’t visit it from the inside. (Original) Bel ouvrage de fortification. Dommage que l’on ne puisse pas la visiter de l’intérieur.

(Translated by Google) Part of the ramparts of Mézières, this very well preserved tower is magnificent. To have (Original) Faisant partie des remparts de Mézières, cette tour, très bien conservée est magnifique. A voir

(Translated by Google) A great experience. I'm not talking about the program, which changes every year, but about the organization and the general atmosphere. The exhibition center parking lot is a 2km walk away, and we easily found a space. On site, there was water available at 3 or 4 different points (tip: bring a water bottle or a glass). Plenty of food, and the wait never exceeded 5 minutes. A festival that feels well-oiled, +1 (Original) Bonne expérience. Je ne parle pas ici de la programmation qui change chaque annee mais de l'organisation et l'ambiance générale. Le parking de du parc des exposition est à 2km à pied et on a aisément trouvé de la place Sur place, il y avait de l'eau à disposition sur 3 ou 4 points différents (conseil : ramené une gourde ou un verre) Beaucoup de restauration et l'attente n'a jamais excédé les 5min Festival qu'on sent bien rodé, +1

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant festival, on a human scale, where you can move around without jostling, in a really very pleasant setting. The layout of the stages and the different restaurants/bars is well thought out. Varied program (Will Smith??), there is something for everyone, with a theme per stage, which avoids crazy back and forths. Reasonable prices, varied food but a little disappointing in quality/quantity. On the other hand, it was a genius idea to have implemented a comic book festival in the thing, with authors in large numbers to sign their works (Original) Festival très agréable, à taille humaine, où on peut se déplacer sans bousculade, dans un cadre vraiment très agréable. La disposition des scènes et des différents restos/bar est bien pensée. Programmation variée (Will Smith ??), il y en a pour tous les goûts, avec une thématique par scène, ce qui évite les allers-retours insensés. Tarifs corrects, restauration variée mais un peu décevante en qualité/quantité. Par contre, idée de génie d'avoir implanté un festival de BD dans le truc, avec des auteurs/autrices en nombre pour dédicacer leurs ouvrages

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful festivals I've ever had the chance to attend. And the food is divine. All eco-friendly. (Original) Un des plus beaux festivals où j'ai eu la chance d'aller. Et la bouffe est divine. Tout en ecoresponsable.

(Translated by Google) 3rd day with family or friends. Purchase tickets and Cashless (for food and drink) on the Cabaret Vert website. Quick and friendly passage at the entrance, at the food stands (cherry nectar, cider, ham sandwich). Free water. Very welcoming and helpful volunteers. Spaced out stages. Good music and light. Very pleasant site near the water: trees, floating bridge. (Original) 3ème journée en famille ou entre amis. Achat des billets et Cashless ( pour boire et manger ) sur le site du Cabaret Vert. Passage rapide et sympa à l'entrée, aux stands de restauration ( nectar griotte, cidre , sandwich jarret ). Eau gratuite . Bénévoles hyper accueillants et serviables . Scènes espacées . Bonne musique et lumière . Site très agréable près de l'eau : arbres , pont flottant .

(Translated by Google) Improbably poor organization in 2025. Parking lots far from the festival BUT shuttles to take people there. EXCEPT that said shuttle left us 2 km from the site, in the blazing sun, without any information. After 20 minutes, the whole group realized that no one would be coming to pick us up. But it's great!!! So, we arrived super late for the concert, we would have been early if we had walked from the parking lot. Once we got there, it was good, the food was very good (Ardennes burger). And Zaho was great, but I'll go see her elsewhere next time. (Original) Organisation improbable mauvaise en 2025. Parkings à distance du festival MAIS navettes pour emmener les gens. SAUF que ladite navette nous a planté à 2 km du site, en plein cagnard, sans la moindre info. Au bout de 20 minutes tout le groupe a compris que personne ne viendrait nous reprendre. Mais c'est super !!! Du coup, arrivés super à la bourre pour le concert, on aurait été en avance en faisant le trajet à pied depuis le parking. Une fois sur place c'était bien, la bouffe proposéz était très bonne (burger des Ardennes). Et Zaho était au top, mais j'irai la voir ailleurs la prochaine fois.

(Translated by Google) A very well-organized festival! Everything is designed to make it easy to get there (parking 2 km away, shuttles depending on the year, a partnership with Fluo for the train, etc.). Once there, you'll find plenty of food and drink areas. Everything is designed to encourage local produce (cheese, meat, soft drinks, beer). You won't find that good old Coke or other drinks there, and that's a good thing! There are even water stations! The festival is located on a large site, making it easy to get around and relax between concerts! You can even walk on the Meuse River thanks to one or more floating footbridges! To ensure you have a great time, I recommend several things: carefully check the website for details on how the festival operates (accessibility, cashless, prohibited items, etc.), bring a water bottle to refill your water (not a glass one, as this is prohibited), have the map, your tickets, and the schedule in a format that can be viewed offline (the network doesn't always reach everyone on site), and download the cabaret app. And then, enjoy yourself to the fullest! (Original) Un festival très bien organisé ! Tout est fait pour que l'on puisse y accéder facilement (parking à 2km, navettes selon les années, partenariat avec Fluo pour le train, ...). Une fois sur place, vous retrouverez plein de zones de restauration et de boissons, tout est fait pour que l'on consomme local (fromage, viandre, soft, bières), ce n'est pas là-bas que vous trouverez ce bon vieux Coca ou autre et tant mieux ! Vous avez même des points pour vous ravitailler en eau ! Le festival se situe sur un site étendu ce qui permet de circuler et de pouvoir se détendre entre deux concerts ! On marche même sur la Meuse grâce à une ou plusieurs passerelles flottantes ! Pour passer un agréable moment, je vous recommande plusieurs choses : bien consulter les détails sur le site afin de voir comment le festival fonctionne (accessibilité, cashless, objets interdits, ...), de prendre une gourde pour recharger en eau (pas en verre car interdite), avoir le plan, vos billets et le planning dans un format consultable hors connexion (le réseau ne passe tout le temps avec tout le monde sur place), de télécharger l'application du cabaret. Et puis de profiter un maximum !

(Translated by Google) A festival like any other, but maybe not so much. A very friendly atmosphere, a diverse program, and all this in a place that thrills. (Original) Un festival comme les autres mes peut-être pas tant que ça. Ambiance très conviviale, programmation diverse et tout ça sur une endroit qui fait vibrer.

(Translated by Google) I think this establishment is closed (Original) Je pense que cette établissement et fermé

(Translated by Google) A magnificent village...😊 (Original) Un village magnifique...😊

(Translated by Google) A well-maintained greenway with good-quality asphalt. Traveling through the northern Ardennes is very pleasant. It passes through beautiful villages. Taking the train on the way back or on the way out is convenient and allows you to discover more landscapes. (Original) Voie verte bien entretenue avec un enrobé de bonne qualité. Parcourir le Nord des Ardennes y est très agréable. Traversées de beaux villages. Et prendre le train au retour ou à l’aller est pratique et permet de découvrir plus de paysages.

We went to park TERRALTITUDE to go treeclimbing; called the Accrobranche. The staff was very friendly and had a smooth experience getting geared up. The routes were pretty fun and creative, but didn't go very high. I would have enjoyed that personally. One downside was that park oversight seemed to be understaffed. In front of us were a bunch of kids that were too young and too scared to do a difficult route. They didn't dare go further so we ended up stuck there for 30 minutes without anyone coming to help or assist. Hope they get more staff in the future.

I went with my children ages 5 and 2 and we had a great day. The park is very well maintained and there is lots to do even for small children (go karts, sand pit, swings, trampolines and much more). For bigger guests all of the activities looked amazing! We will definitely return.

From booking online to the Fantasticable zip wire experience, it was all well organised and enjoyable. 5 adults went at 1030am (we are Defender owners, so pleased that the 4x4 which takes you up is a 110 and can take the rough track without going very slowly) and once in the harness we all felt very safe and secure. The thrill-seeker part of me wanted it to be even faster, but the way the land falls away and then you cross the wide Meuse river is great at any speed! Boys wanted to do it again IMMEDIATELY!

Doing the Fantasticable was an amazing and exciting experience. I always felt in safe hands and absolutely no scared.

We did the long zip line over the river and into the forest. It was absolutely fantastic. Terraltitude was very quiet. We think its because their website doesn't really show how fantastic their site is. There are rope climbs for all ages even for the little ones.

Me, my wife and 2 boys (12 & 6) had such a blast at this place. The activities are wonderfully fun and the staf are super nice

Super enjoyable time climbing trees and obstacles while attached to a safety cable. Different levels available for everyone from little children to expert climbers.

We had a fantastic tour of a this house which has both a very interesting history and and an admirable present philosophy. Highly recommend to book a tour if you are visiting the champagne region. Opting for the medium level, the so called immersive tour, gave the chance to try something truly unique, a champagne matured on the bottom of the ocean.

We had the best time! Our host was great,fun and so very knowledgeable. We learned so much,enjoyed tasting & smelling the differences of the different champagne and vintages! Our group,although none of us knew each other starting the day, all from different countries USA, Netherlands,and Italy,after our tour and our " test" felt like friends. AMAZING lunch! Discussing what we had learned,talking laughing and just having a great time. We can't say enough good about this tour and our host, five star for sure! Book it now, so worth it! Andrew & Cindy Oahu Hawaii

Awesome tour. So much more personal and up close than the big houses. Learnt much more and had fun. Tasted 6 awesome champagnes! Cheers.

Make sure you go to the right place for your tour! It’s not the one on Avenue de Champagne- it’s about a 20 minute walk, so you’re likely to miss some of the tour, which is what we did. The address is on your email confirmation. Tour was pretty good. I’m not sure if we missed it, but I would have appreciated more basic information about how champagne is made. We saw the stainless steel tanks & learned how they are cleaned. We learned something about biodynamics & fermentation in glass. We saw into some cellars and learned about how the Abyss range is matured. And we had a tasting of 2 champagnes, which was interesting .

Regret booking this. The experience was disappointing from start to finish. They have two locations(with the exact same names) and we accidentally arrived at the wrong one. Instead of handling the situation with some flexibility, the staff immediately blamed us and told us to ‘check our tickets.’ The two locations are only a six-minute drive apart, so we wouldn’t have been significantly late if they had simply let us join the tour. We actually booked our uber on the spot to make our way there asap but they told us to cancel that. When we asked if we could join any of the later tours, we were told it was fully booked – though honestly, would two extra people have made such a difference? This lack of hospitality set the tone. Reluctantly, they offered us a tasting at the location we had come to, despite the fact we had paid €90 for a tour. What we got were four of the tiniest pours we experienced anywhere in Champagne, and worse, the wines were flat and stale (as you can see in the video). It was especially noticeable that many bottles were left uncorked on the counters without stoppers, which likely explained the poor quality of what we were served. To top it off, the waiter who served us made a point of repeating that the ‘correct address was on the tickets.’ The service throughout was curt, unkind, and at times just plain rude. Overall, this was the lowest point of our trip. With so many warm, authentic, and generous champagne houses in the region, I would strongly recommend skipping this one.

The excursion was great, and the guide was passionate and energetic. However, the champagne served was disappointing—stale, flat, and at the wrong temperature. For the price of the tasting, this was a very strange and underwhelming experience. If the wine can’t even be served properly, it raises serious doubts about the rest of the winemaking process. Probably the first time I’ve ever rated a champagne tasting 1 star.

I visited Champagne Leclerc Briant this past December, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. The entire experience was exceptional, and a big part of that was thanks to Antonella, our guide. She was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and passionate, and she really made the visit unforgettable. She explained everything in such an engaging and approachable way- from the biodynamic methods they use to the history of the house and the winemaking process. I learned so much, and it made me appreciate the Champagne even more. The tasting itself was a highlight. Each glass had its own character, and you could really taste the care and philosophy behind the wines. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, and I left feeling inspired and grateful for the experience. If you're anywhere near Champagne, make sure to stop by. It’s truly something special.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful fountain in a preserved urban setting. Beautiful town, Charleville Mézières. (Original) Très belle fontaine dans un ensemble urbain préservé. Belle ville que Charleville Mézières.

(Translated by Google) An impressive and beautiful fountain with a rich history, situated on a lovely square that marks the start of the pedestrian shopping area towards Place Ducale. (Original) indrukwekkende en mooie fontein met een rijke voorgeschiedenis, op een mooi plein dat de start is van de winkelwandelzone richting Place Ducale.

(Translated by Google) Nice area to walk around. (Original) Mooie omgeving om rond te wandelen.

(Translated by Google) Statue moved in order to create a promenade between the ducal square and the statue with a few shops. Charles was kicked out of his home, anecdotal but culturally sad. (Original) Statue déplacée afin de créer une promenade entre la place ducale et la statue avec quelques boutiques. On a délogé Charles de chez lui, anecdotique mais triste culturellement.

(Translated by Google) Formerly on Place Ducale, this fountain is a must-see in Charleville-Mézières, in fact, in summer, it is very pleasant to receive the droplets of water that come out of it and act like an "outdoor mister" (even if this is not its primary purpose). The two ice cream vendors facing the fountain as well as the few benches installed make it a place to relax for a moment. There are also rides which are sometimes set up in front to delight the little ones. In short, don't hesitate to walk past. (Original) Anciennement sur la place Ducale, cette fontaine est un incontournable de Charleville-Mézières, en effet, en été, il est fort agréable de recevoir les goutelettes d'eau qui en sortent et font comme un "brumisateur d'extérieur" (même si ce n'est pas son utilité première). Les deux marchands de glace présent face à la fontaine ainsi que les quelques bancs installés en font un lieu pour se poser un moment. Il y a également des manèges qui s'installent parfois devant afin de ravir les plus petits. En bref, n'hésitez pas à passer devant.

(Translated by Google) This fountain is magnificent, in winter it is even more beautiful, when everything is frozen. Personally I never get tired of it, and it’s always nice to have this kind of thing in a city center. (Original) Elle est magnifique cette fontaine, en hiver elle est encore plus belle, quand tout est gelé. Personnellement je ne m’en lasse pas, et c’est toujours agréable d’avoir ce genre de choses dans un centre ville.

Small museum about the history of nail and bolt manufacturing in the region.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience at this museum. After a short film introducing various professionals involved in the industry, the children set off to explore the museum using a tablet. Nothing is fragile, and the children can explore independently at their own pace. They can also participate by hammering in vintage nails. The person who manages the museum, Nadia, is exceptionally kind! We were able to discuss a wide range of topics with her, and she even offered us a workshop using 3D pens at the end of the visit. Both children and adults were delighted with this visit. (Original) Super expérience dans ce musée. Après un petit film qui montre différents acteurs du métiers, les enfants sont partis à la découverte du musée à l’aide d’une tablette. Rien n’est fragile, et les enfants peuvent aller à leur rythme en toute autonomie. Ils peuvent aussi participer en plantant des clous d’époque. La personne qui gère le lieu, Nadia, est d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle ! Nous avons pu échanger sur plein de sujets avec elle, et elle nous a même proposé un atelier avec les stylos 3D en fin de visite. Enfants comme adultes avant été enchantés de cette visite

Le batiment étant petit, il est dommage que les commentaires de la tablettes ne soient pas sur écouteurs.

(Translated by Google) A pleasant museum that explores the various metalworking trades that once existed along the valley. It's best to use the tablet provided for your visit; the explanations are clear, detailed, and easily understood by younger visitors. Adult price: €6 / Child: €3 (Original) Musée sympathique permettant de cerner les différents métiers de la métallurgie actifs autrefois le long de la vallée. Préférez la visite à l'aide de la tablette proposée, mes explications sont claires, détaillées et compréhensibles par les plus jeunes. Prix adulte 6€ / enfant 3€

(Translated by Google) This review primarily concerns the day of our visit. There was no consideration for visitors that day. Construction work, exhibition setup, interruptions to the tour, and part of the room was inaccessible. No discount was offered to compensate for the inconvenience. Closing the site for the day would have been respectful of the holiday visitors who could have visited on a more suitable day. Otherwise, the museum is quite comprehensive; audio guides are available, but not with headphones. This is also why it was unpleasant to visit that day; the loudspeaker didn't cover the noise of the construction. The video at the end of the tour somewhat enhanced the description of the visit. (Original) Cette note concerne essentiellement le jour de notre visite. Il n'y a eu aucune considération pour les visiteurs ce jour là. Des travaux, des mise en place d'exposition, des coupures dans le parcours, une partie de la salle inaccessible. Aucune réduction n'a été faite pour dédommager les désagrément. Fermé le site pour la journée aurait été respectueux pour le public de vacances qui aurait pû visiter un jour plus appropriée. Sinon le musée est assez complet, des audio-guide son disponible mais pas en casque. C'est bien pour cela aussi que c'était désagréable de visiter ce jour là, le haut parleur ne couvrait pas le bruit des travaux. La vidéo en fin de visite à un peu relevé la description de la visite.

(Translated by Google) We arrived at 5:20 p.m., but reception refused to allow us to visit, even though it closes at 6 p.m. and the tour lasts 45 minutes. I don't understand? There's still work to be done. (Original) Arrivée à 17h20 , l'accueil nous a refusé la visite, alors qu'il ferme à 18h, et que la visite dure 45min, Je ne comprends pas ? Des efforts encore à faire

Nice walk through the woods and inside

As others have stated this is a quiet and well run museum on the woodland flora, fauna of the area … and mostly about the development of working practices and mechanisation for harvesting wood. You can go at you own pace with an audio guide and you will quickly find many items of interest. Like many things in life, what seems basic at a superficial level quickly becomes a source of wonder and interesting detail as soon as you scratch the surface. An industry that is easy to take for granted. Yet you will be left in awe of the sheer effort and practical ingenuity of those who worked these woods.

Very interesting did not realise how involved forestry is

stay in the games beautiful park lots of attractions recommend.

Super

(Translated by Google) Small, very friendly museum which raises awareness of the protection of forests and allows you to discover ancient woodworking trades. The children loved it (the parents too), with the added bonus of a little investigation to solve. It was a very pleasant walk in this very mild autumn weather. Of course in wet weather it must be less pleasant but you just have to plan ahead 😉 An outdoor picnic area and a very practical closed one. (Original) Petit musée très sympathique qui sensibilise à la protection des forêts,permet une découverte des métiers anciens du bois. Les enfants ont adoré (les parents aussi) , avec en prime une petite enquête à résoudre. C'était une balade très agréable par ce temps d'automne très doux. Bien sûr par temps humide cela doit être moins agréable mais il faut juste prévoir 😉 Une aire de pique-nique extérieure et une fermée très pratique.
