Many visitors are attracted to the region, summer and winter alike, drawn not just by Dinant itself, birthplace of Adolphe Sax, the jovial inventor of the saxophone, but also by a network of close on 2,000km of signposted trails, a great river, the Meuse, offering a wide range of activities, and a past full of historic incident.
This heritage of the past includes more than just romantic ruins, however. The Château and Farm of Falaën and two other famous sites, Annevoie and Freÿr, have successfully generated their own value added and are now known primarily for their magnificent gardens.
