During your stay in Paris, take the opportunity to discover Bruges, a true jewel of architecture. After a drive accross the North of France we'll reach Bruges in Belgium also Known as the Venice of the North. "Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe! It was a justified motive that prompted UNESCO in 2000 to include the entire historical city centre on the World Heritage list. Walking along the maze of winding cobbled alleys and romantic canals, you imagine yourself to be in medieval times."
During your day trip you will enjoy a roundtrip on the picturesque city canals and discover Bruges from quite a different and surprising point of view!
You will also appreciate the beauty of "The Centuries-old Bruges Skyline Top with the Welcome Church of Our Lady (Onthaalkerk Onze-Lieve-Vrouw), Belfry, Saint Saviour’s Cathedral. Three spires dominate the Bruges skyline each in their own way. The imposing Belfry has been the proud symbol of Bruges’ independence for centuries. The stiff climb up its stairs will be rewarded with an unforgettable panorama. The brick tower of the Church of Our Lady – the highest of its kind in Europe – exemplifies the craftsmanship of Bruges’ artisans. The spire of Saint Saviour’s Cathedral has recently been completely renovated."
For those who choose to visit the Belfry Tower, it is no less than 83 metres high! "On your way to the top you will discover the old treasury room, an impressive clock mechanism and a carillon with 47 bells. After 366 steps, your athletic efforts will be rewarded with a breath-taking view of Bruges and its surrounding countryside."
Others might want to pay a visit to the "Welcome Church of Our Lady - The Onthaalkerk O.L.V." "With its 122-metre brick steeple, it dominates the skyline of the city. It is quite literally the ‘high spot’ of the stonemason’s art in medieval Bruges. The church also plays host to a rich collection of art treasures, of which the crowning glory is defi nitely the beautiful ‘Madonna and Child’ by Michelangelo. The choir aisle is also a treasure trove of exceptional pieces: paintings and exquisite woodcarving, the 16th-century ceremonial tombs of Maria of Burgundy and Charles the Bold, as well as other painted tombs from the 13th and 14th centuries, etc."
And of course for Chocolate Lovers, "The World ’s Capital of Chocolate Top 49 chocolate boutiques, the chocolate museum Choco-Story, a chocolate trail and a chocolate fair. It goes without saying that Bruges is the world’s capital of chocolate. The only way to discover this tasty universe is by eating and sampling chocolate, of course."
