This trail number 27 takes you through the Ardennes orchards, particularly those of the Tourteronnais region. The production of apples, pears, and other fruits can be found here!! Starting from Guincourt, visit the Tourteronnais, whose orchards have made this area famous. In the rolling hills of the Préardennaises, discover the beauty of these fruit trees and the landscapes shaped by this cultivation. A piece of advice: stop by the producers and taste the pleasure of the fruits.
