Dinant: the City of the Saxophone

The charming city of Dinant in Belgium is the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone.

This musical instrument, composed of a single reed, a conical tube, and finger keys, was patented by Sax in 1846.

The bridge that crosses the Meuse river in Dinant is named after Charles de Gaulle, the former president of France who was wounded in the Battle of Dinant in 1914.

The bridge is decorated with colorful saxophones and flags from different countries, creating a festive atmosphere for this picturesque city.
