Bruges-La-Morte: And the Death Throes of Towns | Georges Rodenbach

I was enchanted by every city we visited on our cruise four (!) years ago, but Bruges was by far the most picturesque. It has a bell tower, a cathedral, a canal with swans, a palace, quaint shops and cafes…

There‘s also quirky public art, such as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Don‘t ask me which one this is, because I couldn‘t read the Dutch sign with tiny writing.

BkClubCare Bruges is one of those places I really hope visit again. Have you seen the movie 🎥 “In Bruges”? 1y

Susanita @BkClubCare I understand it‘s a little weird, but I‘ve put it on my list. 1y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awesome!! 1y

RaeLovesToRead I went to Bruges as a teenager (when I was probably a bit young to appreciate it), so In Bruges was even funnier to me because I was like Colin Farrell 🤣 1y

Susanita @RaeLovesToRead Now I really need to see it 😆 1y

La Femme au miroir | Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Bonjour,

Voici mon retour sur “la femme au miroir“ d‘Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt.

Pour commencer, je voudrais remercier l‘amie qui m‘a conseillé cette lecture.
J‘ai eu un vrai coup de coeur pour ce livre et pour l‘auteur.
Écrit dans un style cinématographique, les paragraphes se succèdent entre les trois héroïnes, donnant l‘envie de tourner page après page.

Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt m‘a ensorcelé.

Soubhiville Yay! When is your trip? It‘s such a lovely city. Of course there are lots of chocolate and candy shops- my favorite discovery was dark chocolate covered orange rinds- whoa! Also waffles from the street vendors. Mmmmm! 5y

Mitch @Soubhiville we go at the end of the month (23rd)...... so far we have waffles, moules, grand old bookshops, comic strip murals, Palau‘s de Justice on the list PLUS - dark chocolate covered orange rinds 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 5y

Susanita I hope you get to go to Bruges. It‘s very picturesque! 5y

Blaire @Susanita @mitch I loved Bruges! The most memorable part of my trip there was the liege waffles. 5y

Mitch @Blaire Liege waffles are definitely on the agenda! 5y

If you're trying to find the Frietmuseum (Fries Museum) just look for the Argentine BBQ across the street. #DontcryformeArgentina #WanderingJune

Amiable Bruges is beautiful! It was my favorite. Brussels is nice too (especially if you like urban settings), but Bruges has a fairytale feel to it that Brussels can't match. 6y

CarolynM @Amiable I'm an Art Nouveau fan so I think Brussels has a good chance with me🙂 6y

CarolynM @Cathythoughts I certainly am excited. Counting down the days!🛫 6y

Reviewsbylola #iwonder if I‘ll ever visit Belgium. I hope so! 6y

Oblomov26 Have been to both - do not discard Ghent which is also worth a visit. 6y

CarolynM @Oblomov26 We are also going to Ghent, and Antwerp too🙂 6y

Oblomov26 @CarolynM dang missed Antwerp. Loved what I caught up with in Belgium- what I saw I really enjoyed 6y
