Icon description route Description

A foretaste of the Ardennes forests around the Cailloux-Blancs spring.

Discreetly nestled in the heart of the forest, the "Cailloux Blancs" spring is brimming with incredibly pure water. The Pierrard Brewery in Mellier exploited this exceptional water for several decades, as early as 1939.

A very old town, Mellier already existed under the Merovingians! Mellier even had its own fortified castle, which was destroyed in the late Middle Ages.

This walk takes you through a small piece of Ardennes forest, scented with spruce. The route offers a magnificent view of the village, its railway station, now the village house, and the listed site of the forges, steeped in history.
