Tips from the Community
Opposite the museum is a B&B: Moulin le Cygne. This is an excellent place to stay overnight. Both regarding the apartments and the very extensive breakfast. Moreover, the owners are very cordial.

Here, a newly constructed, small wooden tower offers a view of a branch of the Meuse River flowing along its natural bed. There are also tables and benches for a rest.

This is one of the few places to stop for refreshments along this section of the Trans-Ardennes cycle route, close to the Meuse River. Friendly staff.

Villages détruits, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme is one of the nine villages that were destroyed during the Battle of Verdun. Historical context: Nine villages: Beaumont-en-Verdunois, Bezonvaux, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme, Douaumont, Fleury-devant-Douaumont, Haumont-près-Samogneux, Louvemont-Côte-du-poivre, Ornes and Vaux-devant-Damloup. They were all in the “Red Zone” of the front line in the Battle of Verdun. The villages were wiped off the map and never rebuilt. Erected chapels remind passers-by of this war horror.

Beautiful, peaceful location to take a break. Lovely to stay at the waterfront of the Maas Canal. Information boards provide information about fauna and flora

Sedan is a town with a great history. Also with Dutch connections. A daughter of William of Orange became the mother of two brothers here who both fought battles in the Netherlands. Marshal Turenne besieged Den Bosch in his younger years and later returned on behalf of Louis the 14th. His brother was, in addition to Prince of Sedan, governor of Maastricht for a while. There were also many contacts between the Protestants of both countries. You can find all these things in the castle and in the streets of Sedan. And that, between the restaurants, hotels and shops. The town is slowly recovering from the poverty and desolate impression of the past decades. It is becoming more and more beautiful. In addition, there are many events. The surroundings are also attractive. In short: A must-see a short distance from the Netherlands
