I KEEP dreaming myself back to Charleville Mezieres and I would love to return to this city in the summer. The nature surrounding it is beautiful, and is a very good alternative to Reimes or Paris. (And closer if you’re travelling from the east!) It is truly a hidden pearl. The architecture was STUNNING and you truly felt like you had gotten thrown into a cinematic coming-of-age-movie. We didn’t do much more than walking around and taking in the city. The city felt slow, but we also visited in the month of February and it was OH so cold. Charleville-Mezieres is actually France’s coldest city! So, for the hot summer months, I can only imagine how amazing it must be in this city by the river Meuse. We did not eat out, but we took a drink (outside!) in what then felt like a warming spring sun, alongside the locals who had been waiting for the sun’s first warming rays all winter. Now looking back, it can’t have been more than 5° outside in the sun.
