It boasts the stunning Notre-Dame Collegiate Church, the Charles-de-Gaulle Bridge, and the famous Leffe House, all less than 100 km from Brussels. It’s also a significant cultural hub in the country, home to numerous events. Additionally, many river cruises set sail from this ‘City of Cop\u00e8res’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, they are called Cop\u00e8res. But why? The explanations vary. Some believe it’s derived from “comp\u00e8res”. Alternatively, it might come from the Flemish word ‘koper’, the German ‘kufper’ or the English ‘cooper’, all of which mean “copper”. Copperwork was once a speciality of the town’s residents<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dinant has about sixty hotels within its precincts or nearby. For those looking for straightforward, essential comforts at a reasonable price, there’s the Ibis Centre Hotel<\/a><\/strong>. It’s located 5 minutes from the town centre and offers a lovely view of the Meuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a more authentic stay, consider La Merveilleuse by Infiniti Resorts<\/a><\/strong>. Here, the setting changes dramatically. The hotel comprises two buildings: the old monastery (where breakfast is served) and the Leffe House, which we’ll discuss shortly. Opposite there is a newly constructed building housing 12 recently renovated rooms. It goes without saying that this place offers a particularly enchanting atmosphere. Depending on the season, the rates can be quite affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n Booking.com<\/a>\n<\/ins>\n\ud83d\uddd2\ufe0f What you need to know before travelling to Dinant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
