The Île du Vieux Moulin, or the Island of the Old Mill, is a beautiful park located on the River Meuse, between the city center and Mont Olympe. This island offers a relaxation area at the foot of the Rimbaud Museum. You can enjoy a walk at the viewpoint which offers a pleasant view of the Meuse and the water sports center on one side, and a rest and relaxation area on the other side with benches and the sculpture “Le Défrichement”, originally 2 ox drivers depicted pulling a plow pulled by 6 oxen. Only part of the original work remains (inaugurated in 1931) which was looted and destroyed during the occupation. The island is connected to Mont Olympe by a pedestrian bridge inaugurated in September 1934. It is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area, with stunning views of an unspoilt natural landscape in the middle of the city.

Place Ducale, Charleville-Mézières

Highlight • Historical Site

Place Ducale in Charleville-Mézières is the nerve center of the city. Built at the beginning of the 17th century, this square has a decor similar to the Place des Vosges in Paris. In fact, it was two architect brothers, Louis and Clément Métezeau, who designed these places with their unique charms. Surrounded by pavilions and arcades, the square today brings together tourists and locals to café terraces.
