Extended Day Trip
PRICES HELD FOR A THIRD YEAR!!
Brugge is one of Europe’s best preserved medieval cities. It used to
be Belgium’s richest and busiest port, until the river silted up. Then
this beautiful city, full of architectural splendour was quite literally
forgotten and became a quiet backwater, remaining unspoilt for
hundreds of years. These days, you are able to stroll along the
beautiful canals and through the quiet gardens, enjoy the quaint,
cobbled streets and see the city, much as it was centuries ago.
INCLUDES
Extended Day Trip to Brugge
We depart in the early hours of the
morning and travel south for our
crossing to Calais. After a short
channel crossing, we then take an
hour’s drive to Brugge, stopping
en-route at a chocolate factory
where there may be an
opportunity to see chocolates
being made. On arrival in Brugge,
we will drop you at the coach
park where your driver or escort
will take you for a short and scenic
walk to the city centre. The day is
then yours to spend how you
please. You could take a canal
boat cruise (extra cost) or a stroll
through the parks and down the
river. Alternatively take a horse
drawn carriage ride (extra cost)
down the quaint, cobbled streets
admiring the architectural
splendour. If you’re feeling
energetic, you could climb the bell
tower for an amazing view of the
city or do some shopping in the
many shops and boutiques. Treat
yourself to some beautiful lace or
more delicious Belgian chocolates
at reasonable prices. The coach
departs late afternoon, to make
our way back to Calais for our
channel crossing back to the UK,
before arriving at our pick up
points late at night.

Lille Braderie
from only
PRICES HELD SINCE 2009
Every first weekend in September, ever increasing numbers
of people come to enjoy this great annual rendezvous of
flea market fanaticism, bric a brac hunting, bargaining,
and amateur salesmanship. The Braderie: a 48 hour festival
of brocanteurs all around the city of Lille. The history of the
Braderie of Lille is not well known. It is supposed that the
tradition dates from the Middle Ages, when once a year
the servant classes of Lille were given permission to sell –
from dusk to dawn – old clothes and objects belonging to
their employers. Over the years the Braderie has changed,
becoming much larger and lasting longer. But the overall
free spirit of this September celebration remains.
Itinerary
We depart in the morning and
head south for our crossing to the
continent. We continue towards
Lille, where we should arrive in time
for a late lunch. Perhaps you
would like to try the traditional
Moules et frites (mussels and fries).
You then have plenty of time to
browse the several kilometres of
stalls of second hand goods, all of
which after much hard bargaining,
are looking for a new owner! We
leave the Braderie late evening,
return to our pick up points in the
early hours of Sunday morning with
all the bargains we’ve bought!

Aachen’s brightly lit Christmas Market is set around the

Market dates back to the seventies, when it was quite a
small affair around the Elisa Fountain. Throughout the
years, it has grown and grown and now, every year, before

Hall are transformed into a paradise of lights and colours,
festive sounds and seductive smells. This lovingly
decorated “Christmas Village” on the Market Square has
everything your heart could desire, fascinating all who visit.
With a great deal of choice, many people return on a
yearly basis to see the colourful stands and stalls. The
carousel is a must for the children, as is the mulled wine for
adults. One local speciality you really must try is Aachen
Printen, a kind of Gingerbread.

Aachen, the closest of the
