From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes (cycle route 1) - How lucky we are to have so many “building stones” in our basement. In this part of the Ardennes, it is mainly schist and sandstone that we find, or even a mixture of the two. The churches built in these rocks draw a very particular strength of character from them... A route for lovers of climbing.
