Givet by fortress, greenway and river

Three visitor-service films show Charlemont, the Meuse cycling route and a recorded cruise from Givet, each offering a different view of the border town.

This Val d’Ardenne tourism feature introduces Charlemont as the fortress above Givet and follows the site’s opening to visitors. It is the most direct way into the town’s military landscape: the stronghold is presented as a place to explore, not merely a silhouette above the river. Opening arrangements may have changed since filming, so check the current visitor service.

The regional tourism film follows the Trans-Ardennes greenway as a way to experience the Meuse landscape on foot, by bicycle or by gyropode. For a Givet visit, its value is practical and atmospheric: the town is a northern starting point for a longer riverside route, and the water and valley become part of the journey rather than a backdrop.

In this 2020 vlog, the Val d’Ardenne tourism team takes viewers aboard the Charlemagne for a recorded cruise. The river perspective connects Givet’s quays with the fortress and the surrounding valley, offering a different scale from a walking visit. The footage documents a particular trip; boat operators and schedules should be checked for current availability.
