Rent a car
Driving by yourself gives you more freedom and comfort and you are able to adjust your itinerary on route. It saves time and you don’t have to look for train and bus schedules. You don’t have to deal with delays!
Many Car Rental companies in the US ( like AVIS,HERTZ and others ) offer services to rent a car in Europe. They have pick up and drop off locations all over the continent.
Public Transportation
Most of the big cities and towns in Belgium have a train station, but not in the Ardennes. When you are traveling to the Ardennes you have to organize your trip very detailed. You can’t just take a train to every location. When you are travelling from Normandy to the Ardennes you have to make a stop in Brussels. There’s a direct high speed train THALYS from Paris to Brussels and the EUROSTAR from London to Brussels.
