Dinant
Here is another place to see in Belgique. The fort dates back from the 11th century. Around 1450, one mean French duke(Charles the Bold) threw 800 men in the river Meuse (see below) two by two, nice guy! Then he burnt the city down. It was bunrt down again in 1914 by the Germans...not a good history for these Dinantois!

Love it, love it, love it! Keep these posts coming! I'm living vicariously through you and having a wonderful time! :)
What an amazing time it looks like you are having! Still can't believe you missed the tour?! How is it that even the new cities in europe still look old?
Wow. This is stunning. Reminds me a lot of Prague. Probably just the river mixed with everything old. I love it.
