Château de Flize

Highlight • Castle

Built at the beginning of the 19th century, Flize Castle then became a cloth factory, then a spinning mill, before once again becoming a private home.

The Flize metal bridge is an emblematic site of the First World War. In 1914, in order to limit the advance of German troops, the French mined it. In 1916, the Germans began its reconstruction, carried out mainly by Russian and Italian prisoners of war held in a work camp. Many soldiers died in these places. The Green Bridge, as Flize residents affectionately call it, was built in 1906 to provide access to the Flize steel factory. It allowed the transport by rail of the raw materials the factory needed and the departure of manufactured steel throughout Europe.

Voie Verte Trans-Ardennes in Lumes

Highlight • River

The Trans-Ardennes Greenway follows the old towpath along the Meuse.

As you leave Lumes, you pass under the railway bridge, then the motorway, before entering quieter lands.
