The sand used to make …

This week I had the luck to stay at Chateau du Lac in the north-east section of Genval, which is situated 15 km or 25 min drive southeast of Brussels.
The view of the hotel and from the hotel is beautiful; the castle is situated next to a lake and a huge fountain adds to the view. The surrounding…

During our visit to Brussels in early July 2009 we stayed at a hotel that was Southwest of the major tourist attractions such as the Mannekin Pis and Grand Place. The first night we arrived we walked toward the main square to find somewhere to eat. We noticed this restaurant was filled with people …

Our foodie friends are hard to impress - luckily the New York Times had given them advice on which places to visit, with two features on Les Brassins. We wouldn't have found this place otherwise, tucked away into a back alley in Ixelles. I had excellent garlic mushrooms and vegetarian pasta, and Lyd…

If you prefer a holiday village in the Flemish landscape, you will cert…

t Elfde Gebod ("The 11th Commandment") is a really cool little bar right next to the cathedral in Antwerp, which we discovered thanks to Di. When all the Catholic churches were going out of business and selling their icons, this little place started buying them up and packed them into a bar. This pl…

De Dry Coppen is a gorgeous little bookstore a few streets from the town square of Leuven. The bookstore has a good selection of Dutch and English language titles, with an emphasis on literature and travel. Possibly more than a bookstore, De Dry Coppen is also a coffee shop, with a warm atmosphere a…

This park just next to Atomium is a 1/25th scale model of some of the highlights of Europe. It is designed as a one hour walk-around and contains enough interactive stuff to keep children entertained for the full hour. The models are surprisingly good and a lot of detail is given in the guide bookle…

As a vegetarian I love Ethiopian food, and Kokob is a great place to get it. The atmosphere is fun, lively and relaxing all at the same time, and the food is fantastic. Unless you ask for separate meals, everything will come out on huge pancakes (actually injera, a flat sourdough bread that looks li…

The festival of Cwarmé in Malmedy has been going on for at least 500 years, on the Sunday before Shrove Tuesday every year. It is simply delightful, a pure expression of the community, a fusion between French, Walloon and German culture. In this parade everyone is drawn into the fun and takes part …

Brukselbinnenstebuiten ("Brussels turned inside out") is a Flemish non-profit organisation that, among other things, runs tours of Brussels. They have a very different perspective to tours than most guides, rather than show you the most beautiful parts of the city they concentrate on civic planning,…

The Fight for the Golden Stilt has been held in Namur each year since at least 1411. The battle is held between the Melans (with yellow and black stilts) and the Averesses (with red and white stilts). It is not just an ancient tradition, it is a serious sporting event, and the most riveting I have …

The parade is World Heritage liste…
