This nice church looks like a small cathedral. The stones are nice and the glass are really well decorated. Protected by the rock, it creates a nice atmosphere.

The famous landmark was the first thing we saw when walking from Anseremme to Dinant. It’s a splendid split rock formation about 40 metres high. It’s associated with the ancient Ardennes legend which said that the split was made by the horse Bayard carrying the four Aymon sons who were fleeing the Emperor Charles. As the horse climbed the rocky ridge its hooves split the rock in two. In fact Louis X1V'’s soldiers separated the rock to build an easy road next to the Meuse. Great Legend. A must see.

Modern design of later President of France, Charles de Gaulle as a young Lieutenant during WW1. French army blocked the German invasion for some time at the river Meuse and Lt de Gaulle was wounded at the hand during these operations. I was surprised to learn about his presence in Dinant thanks to the monument. It is modern design and the more one looks at it, the more details one can detect of the de Gaulle authentic looks. Well done, informative, modern art to be accepted and respected.
