Dinant Travel Guide

Dinant is a very cute town in the Belgian Ardennes. It has an impressive  citadel and is a great base for explroring the region which is an outdoor paradise.

South of Dinant, begins the romantical part of the Meuse, a deep trench in the Ardennes plateau. The most spectacular section beeing located at Freyr (6km from Dinant) with on the right bank spectacular rocks, and on the left bank a mini Versailles with its Renaissance castle surrounded by classical gardens (see the entry under Hastière). Two breathtaking  free outlooks are located on the road between Dinant and Beauraing.

Another thing of (small) interest is that Dinant is the home town of Mr. Sax. Yes, the one of the saxophone.

Boat trips on the Meuse river can be arranged here and many daytrips can be made to charming town in the Ardennes.
