Land of forests and ponds, hunting and fishing, Argonne will give you the best : wild boars, does, deers, pikes ; cherries, mirabelle plums, apples, vegetables from the garden, mushrooms ; honey and traditional jams, regional ciders, artisanal beers, vines from Côtes de Meuse…
Argonne is also an historical country where you will be able to follow the black berlin used by Louis XVI to escape when he was arrested in Varennes.
Nearby big towns (Reims, Sedan, Verdun) but very quiet, Argonne is a preserved refuge where the nature offers tranquility.
