Travel program
Citadel and panoramic view
Grotte de Dinant
Maison d'Adolphe Sax
Pont Charles de Gaulle
Walk along the Meuse River
We meet in the morning in Lille, heading for Belgium for a nature and culture getaway.
Welcome to Dinant, a spectacular little Belgian town wedged between the cliffs and the Meuse River. Here, everything is photogenic: the citadel perched high on a rock, the colorful houses along the river, and even the bridge decorated with saxophones in homage to Adolphe Sax, inventor of the famous instrument. You can visit the citadel, the caves, the Maison Leffe, or simply sit back and enjoy the view.
And if you like history: it was in Dinant that Charles de Gaulle, still a young officer, was wounded in 1914 during the First World War. A monument is dedicated to him on the main bridge.
A day of nature, music and memory, just a few hours from Lille.

Unforgettable destinations!
Perched between steep cliffs and the Meuse, Dinant is one of Belgium's most photogenic towns.
Did you know?
Dinant is the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone. His birthplace is now an interactive museum. The town has also been marked by history: it suffered heavy losses during the First World War, and is home to a monument to Charles de Gaulle, wounded here in 1914.
The Dinant caves plunge you into a spectacular underground world.
Did you know?
These caves were formed several million years ago by the action of water, which slowly sculpted the rock. They are also home to a specific fauna, including some rare species adapted to life in total darkness.

Our charters
At Erasmus Place, the journey begins as soon as you get on the bus. It's a friendly atmosphere, where people get to know each other, have a laugh and share music and tips.
Our buses are comfortable, air-conditioned and equipped with toilets, barring major exceptions. We want you to feel at ease, even during several hours of driving. To make sure everything goes smoothly, we also have a few simple rules: respect for everyone, no inappropriate behavior, no consumption of alcohol or banned substances on the bus.
For each trip, we select quality establishments, always with a minimum 2-star rating for hotels. Whether it's a hotel or a hostel, you can count on comfortable, clean and conveniently located accommodation.
Our hotels and hostels are always located in the city center, close to places of interest and local entertainment, so you can make the most of your stay without wasting time in transport. With a few exceptions.
Rooms are shared among friends, in a relaxed atmosphere, but we respect a simple rule: men stay with men, women with women. Rooms are divided into groups of 2, 3 or 4 people, depending on the configuration of the site. If you're traveling as a couple, it's possible to have a room for two, but only by prior arrangement.
We want you to feel comfortable, surrounded and safe throughout your stay.
Each Erasmus Place trip is supervised by one or more trained Tour Leaders, who are friendly and always available. Their role is to ensure that your stay is well organized, that the group is safe and that a friendly atmosphere prevails from departure to return. They welcome you, inform you, lead the trips, coordinate the different stages of the program and listen to you throughout the trip.
Our Tour Leaders are fluent in between two and five languages, including English, making it easy to communicate with all participants, whatever their nationality. They are not certified guides like those you find in museums, but they know perfectly well the destinations they visit, the instructions for the trip, and the good tips to share. They're there to accompany you, reassure you, answer your questions, deal with the unexpected and make sure you get the most out of your Erasmus experience.
Their aim is simple: to make sure you return home with your head full of memories... and the desire to go back (alone or with us!).
