Charleville-Mézières > Monthermé
 
Temporary route to join the departure of the bike path situated in Montcy-Notre-Dame, 4 km away from the station. Two cycle routes are suggested, a direct one in the traffic with a steep hill, another one longer but more quiet offering a scenic discovery of the banks of the Meuse River from the quai Rimbaud and the pedestrian bridge (see zoom).
