On our First Belgian Escapade
Our first Belgian Escapade has started! With lots of delicious beer, chocolate and mussels of course.
On our first day, we drove to the coast and stayed in Ostend, the Queen of the Belgian beach resorts, by the North Sea. We had a fun dinner in a seafood restaurant on the boardwalk, where we enjoyed the view of a beautiful sunset. On the next day, we toured the amazing city of Brugge, the Venice of the North. Our day in this wonderfully preserved medieval town ended with a romantic canal cruise.
We are now staying in the Eastern part of the country, in the Ardennes. Today will be all about WWII and the famous battle of the Bulge.
We’ll keep you posted about it.
Here is a great picture of some of us taken at sunset in Ostend: Rima, Karen, Jac, Valerie and Mary Anne.
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.
