Trans-Ardennes Greenway

A collection of 6 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

A relaxed, riverside ride through the French Ardennes, the Trans-Ardennes Greenway follows the Meuse River on a mostly car‑free path. Expect smooth asphalt for long stretches, with short links on quiet roads and park paths. It’s flat, well signed, and great for all bikes—perfect for family spins, day rides, or a chilled multi‑day tour.

Scenery is classic Ardennes: river views, wooded slopes, canal locks, and laid‑back towns. There are plenty of spots to grab a coffee, picnic by the water, or just watch boats drift by. Navigation is easy—just keep the river on your side and follow the signs.

Surface and access: largely paved and comfortable; a few brief sections use calm streets or access roads. Share the path with walkers and slow through built‑up areas. Best from spring to autumn, and good year‑round when weather cooperates.

If you want an effortless, scenic route with minimal traffic and steady views, this greenway delivers.
