Rocroi is a French municipality in the department Ardennes, the French Ardennes. It is located just a few kilometres from the border with Belgium, about 35 minutes from the city of Charleville-Mézières and the Belgian city of Chimay, world famous for its delicious beers. The region has an interesting history, especially because of the many fierce battles that have been fought during the wars throughout the centuries. The remains of the fortifications around Rocroi are still visible today.
