Also, outside Bastogne is the Wood of Peace, a forest of 4, trees planted for the 50 th anniversary of the historic battle, and dedicated to the American veterans who fought in the Ardennes, Belgian combatants and all the civilians and soldiers who died in the winter of Every veteran who returned to Bastogne in chose a tree, which will always bear his name. Located just 1 hour from Brussels, Mons is rich in history and tradition. Each June, the city is filled with visitors who watch the reenactment of Saint George slaying the Dragon.
As the dragon swings its tail at the crowd, spectators try to grab the tail and pull out its hair and ribbons, both of which bring good luck. Van Gogh also spent some time near Mons before moving on to Provence. His house, an authentic and preserved environment, houses a permanent exhibition of reproductions and an audio-visual show in various languages. Mechelen, a small and picturesque city of quaint shops and car-free areas, was once the capital of present-day Belgium and Holland. Mechelen has more than listed buildings and monuments including eight gothic and baroque churches from the 14 th —17 th centuries.

I really enjoyed Belgium but understand that not everyone likes every place that I do. Have you ever been there? If so, it would certainly make for an interesting conversation with your sister-in-law. The Westhoek area offers you wonderful cycling trails in the beautiful nature, cycle along little pathways, and visit the various battlefields. You can find free cycle maps Ypres, Dikmsuide, … on Fietsroute.
Taking a good beer, try some chocolate and enjoy themselves reading a comic. Performing these three simple actions have done more than enough for the three icons of Belgium which is known worldwide honors.

Everything is relatively close. I love Belgium. My husband and I first went there for our 30th wedding anniversary and have been going back a couple of times a year for the last 3 years. Such an amazing country.

Brussels is brilliant and so central. Thank you for all these comments, now i am sure that I have made they right choose. Hugely significant area wrt WW1 as has already been said. Also centre of one of the best car rallying events outside of the World Championship. The Market square being taken over as the service park for the event has a wonderful atmosphere. My family and I are travelling to Belgium in a couple of weeks time by motorhome. We will start at the Belgium GP in Spa then hope to take in some of the wonderful cities and places I have read about.
Has anyone got any suggestions about the best way of finding decent motorhome parks I believe they are called Aires. We really need them for filling up and emptying water plus overnight stays when visiting Brussels, Bruge, Ghent etc and the WWII memorial sites. We are only there for a week, wish it was two after reading all your comments!
They should be a good source for that information, or they will be able to point you in the right direction. Have a wonderful trip!
