    Oh jeez. I have no idea what the second two hints are about.

    Adolphe Sax was born in Belgium (where you were), then moved to Paris where he invented the saxophone, and that’s where he’s buried. So, “the inventor of the sax without his instrument” would literally mean that he’s physically in Paris, France (assuming he isn’t buried with a saxophone, of course).

    And a trajectory of Amsterdam-Bruges-Paris makes sense. And you can’t be too obvious about Paris, since it’s a well-known city. So, without really anything else to go on, I’m going to say Paris.

    But I have no idea what an old Toyota pickup and an iPhone case have to do with anything…

    Clarification:
    Don’t think too hard on hint 3. It’s a pointer.

    Hint 1 is the best hint of the group.

    Hint 2 is a pretty terrible hint.

    Dinant, Belgium?

    I would read “the inventor of the sax without his instrument” to possibly imply before he invented the saxaphone (or where he was born…)

    Oh jeez. I had an epiphany that I can’t believe we didn’t get Hint #3 yet. It’s so OBVIOUS. You said “Hi, Luxembourg!” Duh. I feel so dumb. RIGHT THERE. Hilux hilux hilux.
