Dinant – Birthplace of the Sax!

On a recent European Tour I was fortunate to be able to detour to the picturesque Belgian City of Dinant, birthplace of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone!

Whilst visiting Dinant I visited the Adolphe Sax museum, (which is in the same spot as the house where young Adolphe grew up!) There is a small exhibition and a bench outside of the house where you can sit with a sculpture of Adolphe and enjoy the view.

If you’re ever in Southern Belgium I’d advise you take a pilgrimage to Dinant and pay homage to Mr Sax!
