Roc la Tour

Highlight • Viewpoint

The legend about La Roc la Tour says that the Devil tried to build a castle in one night. He failed and in all his anger he destroyed the castle. The rocks you can see are the remains of that castle.

What we saw was very beautiful but the route was not correct, so we could only walk a short distance.

Monthermé

Highlight • Settlement

Monthermé is located on both banks of the Semoy.

The Semois flows into the Maas near Monthermé in the French Ardennes. With ideal hiking weather, we were able to enjoy a very nice tour with wonderful panoramic views of the Meuse and great rock formations (lots of slate!).

The day began with early morning exercise: 200 meters of elevation in 20 minutes. Up there, from the Seven O'Clock Rock (Roche à sept heures), I was greeted by my first great view of the town of Monthermé in the Ardennes and the Meuse Valley (pronounced "Möse", it's not my fault, that's what it really means, in German "Maas").
