Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
Bruges is a famous town in the west of Flanders regio. Bruges is partly encircled by the big canal Gent-Brugge -Oostende.
The inner city has some small canals (de reien) which can be visited in small boat. Last season Bruges started her boat-tours with some electric boats. These boats are more silently than the motor-boats.
You have also a possibility to have a City-tour with carriage or even having a tour on a Rickshaw.
When the weather is not famous you can visit several museums in town.
We live in "The egg of Bruges"; Het ei van Brugge . ( map; cfr photo of our dining room )
The inner part of Bruges can be visited just by walking.
Although you also can take a bus to the more commercial center of the town. Within 5 minutes walking from our home you'll find a bus-stop nearby in the ' Langestraat' next to the "Molenbrug". Line 1; AZ St Jan ( Hospital of Bruges ) and Line 2; Louis Coiseau Kaai ( Police Office ) Both are driving through the town. Bruges started also with a small electric city bus that stops on several stopping-places in the center of Bruges
It is about 30 minutes ( +- 25 kilometers driving by car) to the Belgian coast( the Northsea coast). But there are regular trains from Bruges to Blankenberge ( most popular coast town but very bustly ) Knokke, Zeebrugge and Oostende.
But we prefer De Haan (20 km with car) or 1 hour with the bus. No high apartment buildings and sun on the dike.
Bruges promoted her town with a trailer( promotion film) about Bruges and her environment:

De ruil was ongeveer zoals verwacht. Het oude karaktervolle huis in 'Frankrijk (Corbigny) ' is het tweede verblijf van de familie uit 'Spanje( Madrid)'.Beide woningen worden vermeld in de aankondiging. Het hoogst noodzakelijke comfort is er aanwezig. Er is geen Wifi aansluiting . De gebruikelijke winkels ( bakker, slager, kruidenier, bar tabac enz ...) zijn te vinden in de directe omgeving van de woning. Een meerwaarde! Vlotte parkeermogelijkheden (mits enige manoeuvres) in de doodlopende straat. Ook een meerwaarde.
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable chez Michèle et Marc.
We had good contacts before our exchange. The apartment was what we had expected.Clear photo's. We both would like to exchange again some later.
We had a very nice time in Barcelona. The contacts through Whatsapp were very good. Martha and her niece were very kind people.They left our home like it was when they arrived. The introduction of the apartment is what it is.
