You’ll travel from Paris to Bruges with a private driver and Wi-Fi on board, exploring medieval streets, Market Square, and tranquil canals with an audio guide. Enjoy hotel pickup and drop-off plus small comforts like bottled water—giving you space to wander at your own pace and soak up moments you’ll remember long after the drive home.
“You’re sure this is the right chocolate shop?” I asked our driver, who just grinned and pointed down a cobbled side street. We’d left Paris before sunrise — still half-asleep, honestly — but by the time we rolled into Bruges, the air had that cold sweetness you only get near water. The canals were quiet except for the odd bike bell or someone’s dog barking at ducks. I kept thinking how different it felt from Paris, like the city was holding its breath.
Our audio guide kicked in as we wandered past Market Square and those old gabled houses (I always forget how crooked medieval buildings can look up close). There was a group of schoolkids feeding pigeons near the Town Hall — one of them tried to teach me “goede morgen” and then burst out laughing at my accent. The Cathedral of the Holy Blood was open, so we ducked inside for a minute; it smelled like wax and stone, and there was this hush that made me whisper without meaning to.
I didn’t expect to love the Lake of Love as much as I did. It’s just a pond really, but something about the willows hanging low over the water made everyone slow down. Our driver waited nearby (he’d found coffee somewhere — lucky guy), and when we got back in the car later, he told us stories about his own trips here as a kid. The ride back to Paris felt quieter, maybe because we were all tired or maybe just full in that good way you get after seeing something old and beautiful. I still think about that view over the canal when it gets quiet at home.
