Description

Welcome to the Jeumont mooring area, a friendly little stopover on the banks of the Sambre offering electrical hookup and water supply. Stroll “au fil de l’eau” along the landscaped banks, perfect for walking or cycling, and let yourself be charmed by the contrast between the surrounding historic heritage and modernist urban planning. Nearby, the region evokes the “city of moonlight” and Maubeuge, rich in History, recalls its roots with Sainte Aldegonde, founding mother, while the 17th-century fortifications designed by Vauban mingle with modern reconstructions signed by André Lurçat. A peaceful stop where past and serenity meet. Photo credit collective: Office de Tourisme de l’Avesnois, Aurélien Bouibeb, Ludovic Leroy, David Petit
