Taxi Charleville-Mézières → Luxembourg

The Charleville-Mézières — Luxembourg journey is a fascinating crossing of the Ardennes, the ancient forested massif spanning four countries — France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. Charleville-Mézières, prefecture of the French Ardennes and Arthur Rimbaud's birthplace, is the starting point for a route plunging into the heart of the Ardennes forest, one of Western Europe's largest. This dense forest of oak, beech and hornbeam covers rounded hills cut by the Meuse's meanders, creating wildly beautiful landscapes that inspired the legends of the four Aymon sons and nourished Rimbaud's poetic imagination. The Place Ducale, a classical architectural masterpiece, is the city's jewel before departure. The route then crosses the Franco-Belgian border into the Belgian Ardennes with their deep valleys, perched medieval castles and stone villages. You then enter the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the EU's smallest founding state, whose capital is perched on a spectacular rocky plateau carved by the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys. Luxembourg City, UNESCO-listed for its fortifications, is both a global financial centre hosting the EU Court of Justice, the European Investment Bank and over 150 international banks, and a city of remarkable historic charm with its Bock casemates, Grand Ducal Palace and the Grund quarter.
