An avenue to discover otherwise, thanks to a conference led by Florent Simonet.

Who was Jean Nicolas Forest, whose name has been given to several streets of Charleville since 1840?
When was the «Forest Street», lined with lime trees, drawn, which leaves the station in the direction of the Petit Bois and which took the rank of avenue in 1930?
Avenue Forest tells a part of the contemporary history of Charleville: Rimbaud himself frequented the café of the Universe.
Conference co-organised with the Société d'Histoire des Ardennes.
