+ Digging into Wallonia today, the French speaking part of Belgium. Dinant is a little t
own with a big citadel which - bien sûr - we had to visit. By cablecar that we first didn't find. "Ask somebody!" How to ask if I couldn't remember the French word for it to save my life. Anyway, we found it and now I know what it is called: téléphérique.+ Anyone of you into Jazz? You must be grateful to the man from Dinant, Adolphe Sax, who invented... exactly:
+ Another town - Namur, capital of Wallonia, about ten times the size of Dinant (and the dust and the building sites) - another citadel. Phew...
+ My mum's guide book mentions Namur as a the gourmet capital of Belgium and it led us to a cafe called La Maison des desserts. And it rightfully bears this name *drools*. We bought a little package of a local delicacy, Bietrumé, which is some kind of chewy caramel, made from butter, sugar and hazelnuts, and something I have been craving for since I first saw them: Macarons, very colourful, very tender, very perfumed taste :/.
