A tribute to the inventor of the Sax

Adolphe Sax, native of Dinant and inventor of the homonymous instrument, is paid homage through different installations: different Saxes, dedicated to different nations. In fact, the bridge is named after Charles de Gaulle, who suffered a wound on this bridge. Definitely a very nice way to access the city.

    I was here for a very short time but it was nice to walk around. This bridge is named after the French president due to his getting shot here. There is a statue of his commemorating the fact. This bridge is also used for exhibiting statues and creating awareness of major issues, etc by lighting colors. Adolf Sax who invented the saxophone was born here. Get some excellent pics from either side of the bridge, specially at dusk. So nice!

    Scenic bridge
    This bridge spans the river Meuse right near the church of Notre Dame in Dinant. It has various colored saxophone statues on it, in honor of their inventor (whose house is walking distance right nearby). We appreciate the chance to walk across it, look at the various saxophones (most dedicated to a specific country) and admire the views of the church and the citadel on the cliffs above. We easily found cheap parking nearby, and really enjoyed our walk through this small town.
