Givet

Givet lies on the Meuse in France’s Grand Est region, where the river runs through the wooded Ardennes beside the Belgian border. The town occupies a narrow French salient surrounded on several sides by Belgium, giving it a distinctly cross-border character. Above the river stands Fort de Charlemont, begun for Emperor Charles V in 1555 to control this strategic valley passage. Its ramparts remain a defining feature of Givet’s skyline, while the old centre follows the Meuse below. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Givet and the Ardennes.
