Description by the author

Departure from the center of Florenville.

As soon as you leave the center, you will find yourself in the typical Gaumese landscapes; once you reach the banks of the Semois, you will quickly get the feeling of being in the Ardennes.

At the location of Roche Lenel, you can also choose the variant that does not run along the bank. We took the regular route, which follows a very nice path along the bank, but we could imagine that it could be a bit more challenging in rainy weather.

Afterwards, there are a few kilometers on asphalt, but the beautiful surroundings more than make up for it.

At Chassepierre (nice little town), it is worth making a detour to 'le trou des fées' (starting just behind the church).

At the finish, a super nice terrace awaits you in the square in the center of Sainte-Cécile.
