Givet

France / Champagne-Ardenne / Givet /

Givet is a commune in the Ardennes department in northern France very close to the Belgian border. It lies on the river Meuse where Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, built the fort of Charlemont.

Later on, another building was added to the fort, the Caserne Rougé, the longest barracks of France at that time, named after Pierre François, Marquis de Rougé, general of the French armies k.a. 1761.
