Under each stone a legend is customary to say in the Ardennes.
Imagine when it comes to four rocky ridges emerging from the dense Ardennes forest at an altitude of 260 meters. You are at Bogny sur Meuse, at the foot of Four Aymon sons, the heroes of one of the most famous medieval chansons de geste: Renaud, Allard, Richard and Guichard.
Their silhouettes permeated the landscape in full cavalcade as they fled Charlemagne and his troops ready to besiege their Montessor castle. Thanks to bayard fairy horse, they were able to cross the valley in one leap.
A statue of the famous four sons of Aymon
To learn the whole story, go to the plateau of the Quatre fils Aymon, on the heights of Bogny-sur-Meuse, where a discovery trail has been laid out. This pleasant walk will take you to a rocky peak, at the top of which is a statue representing the four brothers surrounding their famous horse Bayard.
At this location, the castle of Montessor would have dominated the valley, giving the name of Chateau-Regnault to one of the districts of Bogny sur Meuse below (the Renault castle).
