From Givet to Dinant

From the lively French town of Givet , the "gateway to France" , dominated by the Charlemont Citadel, you cycle within 15 minutes to the beginning of the Ravel routes in Agimont, Belgium. The old station of Agimont marks the start of your journey along the RAVeL. After a short while you leave the banks of the Maas and follow the old RAVeL railway line No. 156. A little further downstream, Waulsort Castle is well worth a look. Have a short break in Hastière, a typical Maas village before following one of the meanders of the Maas,. In one of which you will see the Freyr Castle, surrounded by its famous gardens at the foot of cliffs, amongst the top mountaineering destination in Wallonia. The exit to Dinant is via the RAVeL on the right-hand bank of the Maas, passing along the foot of the Bayard cliffs.
