Triathlons in the Ardennes

A full-scale playground in the Ardennes

Between legends, dense forests, and XXL heritage

Did you know that this green department, with its 5229 square kilometers, takes its name from the immense Ardenne forest? 🌳 This green paradise is crossed by the Meuse, offering an ideal setting to swim, cycle, and run 🏊‍♂️. You'll love every race in the Ardennes, especially with the half-oceanic half-continental climate that guarantees invigorating freshness in the morning and a radiant sun to cross the final arch ☀️. Don't be surprised if you encounter Woinic, the world's largest wild boar at 50 tons, the ultimate symbol of the area 😲. And running near the Sedan Castle, the largest in Europe, gives quite a boost to the ego! 🛡️

Rimbaud, bacon salad, and steep slopes

Effort rewarded à la Ardennaise

In the prefecture of Charleville-Mézières, you won't only find the sublime Place Ducale, it's also the birthplace of the poet Arthur Rimbaud 🪶. By the way, like him, you'll write your own epic by tackling the sometimes surprising elevation of the Ardennes ridges ⛰️. And because no effort is worth it without a good feast, the local cuisine awaits you around the corner 🍽️. Forget your energy gels for five minutes to dream of the naked-bottomed cassoulet, the famous bacon salad, or the delicious white pudding of Rethel 🤤. On the sports side, we remember that the dynamic club of Charleville actually recruited the Russian triathlon champion Alexandra Razarenova, proof that this land shapes the best international athletes! 🥇
