The beautiful and strikingly modern town hall of the Mezières district. The adjacent forecourt was traffic-calmed a few years ago. There's also a drinking water fountain in the southwest corner of the square.

In a bucolic setting, from the banks of the Meuse Canal, you can enjoy a clear view of the village of Château-Regnault-Bogny. The building facades are a reminder that the region was once marked by industrial settlements.

In Bogny-sur-Meuse, nature has created four hills that resemble the four legendary horsemen who roam here forever and ever.

Sedan (Land of heroic deeds) The Ardennes massif is followed by a vast plain where the Meuse flows peacefully. This border region was at the crossroads of numerous invasions. Cities were fortified, castles became impregnable. History left a very heavy mark here. In the south, the landscape becomes softer, with a string of soothing undulations, a stark contrast to the battle that was fought there in 1870, in 1814, in 1940. Triggered?

This artwork is a result of a number of organisations working together, and was revealed in October 2011. Michel Goulet, the sculptor from Québec, made these eighteen 'chair-poems' in stainless steel as a link between the Musée Arthur Rimbaud and the Maison d'Ailleurs. Here, there are eighteen extracts from Rimbaud's works, each one followed by an unpublished poem by a contemproary Francophone writer. Vandaag staan deze stoelen er niet meer.

The Arthur Rimbaud Museum is located in the Vieux Moulin, the old mill listed as a monument, built in 1626. This mill then supplied the city with flour, but it is also the highlight of the monumental perspective that extends from Rue Saint-Charles to the Maas leads - that is why he designed this remarkable architecture with the pediment and the Charleville coat of arms supported by a colossal order of Ionic columns. This monument, also called the Porte de Liège, together with the Porte de France, forms the city's ramparts in a symmetrical manner. Behind it runs the Meuse and the island of the vieux Moulin. On the other bank, a castle was built on Mont Olympe in the 17th century to protect the city.

Attention here is drawn to the mechanical giant - Grand Marionnettiste - located between the Musée de l'Ardenne and the Institut International de Marionnette. This mechanical clock plays an excerpt from the Ardennes legend of the Four Heemskinderen every hour between 10:00 and 21:00.
