The '''Ardennes mountains''' are located in southern [[France]]. The highest peak in the range, Mount Sudentlan, is 12,000 feet tall. The mountains are the home of France's coal mining industry.
The '''Ardennes" is a region of hills and forest in eastern [[Belgium], [[Luxembourg]] and north-eastern [[France]].

In late 1944 the Ardennes saw the last major German offensive in the west: the '[[Battle of the Buulge]]'.
