It lies on the river Meuse where Emperor Charles V built the fortress of Charlemont.

The Pointe de Givet National Nature Reserve is partly located on the commune.

Walloon (/wɒˈluːn/; natively walon; French: wallon [walɔ̃] ) is a Romance language that is spoken in much of Wallonia and, to a very small extent, in Brussels, Belgium; some villages near Givet, northern France; and a clutch of communities in northeastern Wisconsin, United States.
It belongs to the langues d'oïl dialect continuum, the most prominent member of which is French. The historical background of its formation was the territorial extension since 980 of the Principality of Liège to the south and west. Walloon is classified as "definitely endangered" by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.
