Taking two days to discover Sedan? Enjoy the weekend at one of our Kyriad hotels to discover a City of Art and History, engulfed in forests and criss-crossed by waterways. Start by visiting the extravagant château fort of Sedan, one of Europe's largest medieval fortresses with an area of 35,000 m² spread over 7 floors. Continue with a stroll to the nearby Palais des Princes down below before exploring the city's rich heritage, best enjoyed by wandering among the monuments and religious buildings. You can break up your sightseeing with gourmet stops to test the iconic pastries of Sedan’s traditional cuisine.
Enjoy a week-long stay in Sedan to discover the city in greater depth. After the obligatory exploration of the colossal château fort constructed on the water’s edge, take a pleasant, bucolic stroll along the banks of the Meuse River, a habitat of thriving biodiversity. Continue your getaway by admiring the architectural heritage of the city, to the Church of Saint-Charles-Borromée, recognized as a historic monument in 1980. Finish with a visit to the crypt of the ancient convent of the Irish Capuchins or the Protestant Temple before extending your journey in the Ardennes, following the Meuse River to our
Kyriad hotel in Charleville-Mezières.
A tour of the château fort of Sedan is the opportunity to learn about life in the Middle Ages as a family, with the aid of staged reproductions in the rooms. After having roamed the parapet walks and climbed the fortress' seven floors, take the kids down to the banks of the Meuse for a ride in a canoe. Kids getting a bit antsy? Enjoy a picnic at Bannet recreational center, with hiking trails and children's games. When you return, our Kyriad restaurants offers you the chance to discover the culinary specialties of Ardenne while gathered together for family dinner.
