What's the Ardennes? 🌲
The Ardennes is a wooded area stretching across 3 countries: southern Belgium, northern Luxembourg and north-eastern France. The highest point is the Signal de Botrange at 694m. The sandstone and schist plateaux, criss-crossed in its valleys by rivers and the Meuse, give the Ardennes a distinctive relief.
ℹ️In French, Ardennes, with s, is the French department. Ardenne, without s, is the territory.
