Interested in the city of Dinant? This article is an opportunity for you to discover the things to see during your visit to the Walloon city. 

Citadel of Dinant

Chemin de la Citadelle 5500 Dinant BE

You've probably already seen it, the citadel is the first thing you see with the Notre-Dame Collegiate Church in all the photos of Dinant! Since 1051, this citadel (formerly a fortified castle) has dominated the town of Dinant and offers a breathtaking panorama. You can reach it via a cable car or by climbing the 450 steps to the top. There are many things to discover within the citadel: Weapons museum, various exhibitions, a room in which you can experience the conditions of the trenches at the time of the 14-18 war.

Charles de Gaulle Bridge

Rue de la Station 4 5500 Dinant BE

This bridge is named after Charles de Gaulle because oral legend has it that the general was wounded crossing this bridge during the war in August 1914. The bridge was destroyed the same year and rebuilt in 1925. The Belgian army destroyed it again in 1940 to prevent German troops from advancing. Today, you will see many saxophones on this bridge, as well as in other parts of the city. Why the saxophone? Because Adolphe Sax (inventor of the saxophone) comes from Dinant. 

Rocher Bayard

Rue Arthur Defoin 5500 Dinant BE

A particular rock, forty metres high, between Dinant and Anseremme, on the banks of the Meuse. For the record, this rock is named after Bayard, who was the steed of the sons of Duke Aymon, Prince of the Ardennes. According to legend, the sons, all four of them on the same horse, were pursued by the emperor's troops and are surrounded by this rock. The horse is said to have struck the rock with his hooves and leapt to the other side. There is said to be a footprint of the horse in the rock. A rather credible legend...

The House of Mr Sax

Rue Adolphe Sax 37 5500 Dinant BE

In the very house where Adolphe Sax was born, the inventor of the saxophone (but not only!), there is now an interpretation centre. Here you can discover the story of Adolphe Sax, his career, his inventions, his techniques, his successes etc. How can you recognise her? Easy, Adolphe Sax is on a bench, right in front!
