Belgium - Dinant

Dinant is a Belgian city, located in the French-speaking part of the country (Wallonie).
It is built between a cliff, where the city old fortress dominates, and the Maas (Meuse in French), one of the main Belgian river. This makes the city very narrow, and confers to Dinant its particular atmosphere. It is also the native place of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone in 1846.

We arrived at Dinant around 5 pm, and everybody was outside to enjoy the promenade along the river. People were sitted on the bar terraces, enjoying famous Belgian beers or other culinar specialities as the mossels and French fries (some post about Belgian food and drinks will be coming soon). One of the main restaurant was called Chez Bouboule, le roi de la moule. Belgian humor!

We stayed at night in Profondeville, a village closed to the Meuse, in a camping quite hard to find but small and quiet. We tried before to stay in a camping close to Namur, but the abundance of odd old people and garden dwarfs made us flee!
