A brief stop on our tour of Belgium took us to Dinant, home of Adolphe Sax (1814-1894)—the inventor of the saxophone. The picturesque Charles de Gaulle bridge of saxophones over the Meuse River is the first sighting of Dinant.

Unfortunately, it was raining so we did not explore many places in the city. We had lunch at Le Coin des Gourmets, which made allusions to the Tintin series by Hergé.
