The Cable Car Gap, and a Lift From a Local

Lucas tackles a Monday of practical paperwork in Dinant — registering his address at the Hôtel de Ville, checking the cost of a flat in Bouvignes — and discovers the town's signature cable car is shut for renovation. A local mechanic offers an unexpected way up to the Citadel, and a quiet evening at a café turns into a lesson in Dinant's stubborn pride. ☕ Enjoying the show?
