Kayak to a castle, visit the birthplace of the inventor of the saxophone and use everyday objects to make musical instuments in a fairytale like setting in Dinant, Belgium. This city is a hidden travel gem located in the Ardennes, an area of lush forests and rolling hills. Host Darley Newman takes you on location from the iconic 13th-century Gothic cathedral and the imposing citadel perched high on a cliff to the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. Experience the whimsical House of Pataphony and embark on a thrilling kayaking trip down the Lesse River, culminating in a dramatic view of the Gothic Revival Walzin Castle. This podcast episode in Europe offers practical travel tips and advice mixed with a behind the scenes look at how the Emmy Award-winning PBS team films adventure segments, something that’s not always easy from a canoe amid rough waters and hailstorms.
Whether you're a lover of history, music, or outdoor activities, Dinant promises to share dreamy European vibes and fantastical fun that flies under the radar. Well worth the visit!
