>>325335>>325335Being Belgian I find myself obliged to say there's nothing in the Ardens to "survival" in. You literaly can't go anywhere that is more than a km away from a house or road. Northern France isn't different, because you're in Western Europe. There is no real /out/ here. If you want to do "survival" when in actual danger, go to Scandinavia or Eastern Europe.
Pic related, the average Belgian "forest".
>Things you shouldn't do in order of importance:bring guns (the fuck? This isn't murrica.)
kill animals
light fires
carry axes or big knives
wild camping (You can do this if you set up after dark and leave before morning, but why would you bother?)
>What you should do:Go to a registered campsite (There will be a one within 5km of anything where people hike. Per tent you pay between 3 to 10 euros.)
Get your water from the tap at the campsite.
Buy food at your local Carrefour or Spar (You can never get far away from one)
Buy a local hiking map and do day hikes starting from your campsite.
Have an awesome trip
>Where you should go:The Ardens are awesome. You could go to the Spa region for example, which is near the Hoge Venen.
Compiègne has one of the biggest forests in northern France.
Fontainebleau sounds nice, but I've never been there so I couldn’t say.
>If you're going by train:Trains in France are quite expensive. Avoid TGV if possible.
In Belgium you can get a train pass for 10 trips for 50 euros, could be less expensive depending on how many people are traveling and how far you need to go.
>If you're going by car: Parking is usualy free at your campsiteHave a good trip OP (but wake up)
