Itinerary
7:00 AM: Your journey begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Paris in a comfortable, air-conditioned car. Travel 295 km to Bruges (Brugge) via highway, a drive of approximately 3.5 hours. A brief rest stop will be made after 1.5 hours for your convenience.
11:15 - 13:15 Arrival in Bruges (Brugge) and a walking tour of the historic city center (1.5–2 hours). Bruges is the most visited city in Belgium, famous for its medieval architecture, picturesque canals, and rich history. During the tour, you will see the 83-meter Belfort bell tower, built in 1240 on the market square and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You will also visit the city's historic market, which dates back to the 10th century. The tour includes a visit to the Beguinage Monastery, founded in 1245 by Margaret of Constantinople, Countess of Flanders. The "Beguines" were widows and single women who formed communities—the first emancipated women in European history.
