31/10/2025 – UK – Les Quatre Saisons – for November to January 2026
“A Winter’s Trail” – follow in the footsteps of Rimbaud in Charleville-Mézières.
Born in Charleville in 1854, and buried in 1891 a few steps from Place Ducale in the cemetery of Avenue Boutet, the legend of the world famous poet Arthur Rimbaud – “the man with soles of wind” – still lives-on in The French Ardennes. And for the past few years, locals and visitors alike have been able to follow in the footsteps of the region’s “enfant terrible of Charleville” through a remarkable contemporary visual and historic art trail.
10/09/2025 – UK – Beercations in The French Ardennes
The top 8 breweries in The French Ardennes
Each boasting its own special feature (and one beer made from wild Ardennes blueberries)
Small, specialist beer companies, real ale producers, beer with a story as strong as its flavour – all found within a region that boasts a distinct brewing history and heritage – has helped to set a new trend in tourism.
Having evolved from gastro-tourism, ‘beercations’ have sent enthusiasts scuttling around the globe, in search of local beer cultures, and has created an industry estimated to be worth US$11,628.0 million in 2024, which is projected to reach US$22,560.3 million by 2030.
So it’s always worth lifting a glass to the appearance of a new brewery these days – especially when it enters a region’s Top 8 Breweries “with a bullet”…

Santé!
How a novel wort chiller changed the world of brewing forever
(And why the French Ardennes is “the place to beer”)
Would you believe we wouldn’t have the beer we have today, if it wasn’t for the discoveries and inventions made in The French Ardennes during the 19th century?
France is a country synonymous with fine wines. But when it comes to a drink which truly defines The Ardennes, it’s beer which makes this region stand out from the crowd.
06/08/2025 – UK – Les Quatre Saisons – for August to October
More than just musical bands, Cabaret Vert also features bande-dessinée
Named one of the ‘Top 10’ French music festivals, Cabaret Vert, has been entertaining visitors to Charleville-Mézières for 20 years. Named after an Arthur Rimbaud poem with the same title, the Ardennes festival will welcome an army of festival goers from 14 to 17 August. Unlike other music festivals, however, this one has also always included a very strong comic books (“bande-dessinée”) element in its programme – featuring signing sessions, meets-and-greets with authors, as well as exhibitions, workshops, and movies which, orchestrated by the Pellicule Ensorcelée, includes films and documentaries linked to comic strips, ecology and regional productions. One of the biggest off-site exhibitions of the Cabaret Vert Comic Strip Trail will take place at the War and Peace Museum through to 31 December. Some of the exhibition highlights this year have been timed to coincide with the music festival, but visitors are also invited to see Return to Birkenau – a one-man show by the A Contratempo company and directed by Emily Lombi. This retraces the life of Ginette Kolinka, a survivor of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp who dedicated her life to passing on the memory of what she endured.
