Not swimming but sunbathing at the North Sea
We headed to Ostend today, the queen of Belgian sea resorts. It started as a windy cloudy day but turned out to be warm sunny day.
The wide boardwalk was very colorful, sided by a multitude of restaurants and stands, advertising delicious wafles and the most typical Belgian dish: mussels and fries. However, ice-creams and candies were more attractive for some of us!
Some sketches were done, and tomorrow will be a painting day, for our second visit of Bruges.
BBQ dinner by the pool tonight! Yes!
Who didn’t get ice cream?

Sheltered from the wind!

My name is Jackie Grandchamps. In 2003, I founded French Escapade, offering another way to travel in small groups of 8. "Don't be a tourist, be our guest" is the moto and spirit of my company.

Through this blog, I will provide information about France, Belgium, California, (soon Italy) but also some stories from my guests on the tours.
