The story

Taking advantage of our trip to Lille we decide to go to Belgium to discover Bruges, which so many had recommended... and they were completely right!! It positively surprised me... it's a truly beautiful little town... it almost seems as if time has stood still! Everything is extremely perfect, all clean and tidy... every other shop is a chocolate shop... which, given how they're furnished, it would be more correct to call chocolate boutiques!!

I recommend everyone visit this charming place, and as for us, for the little of Belgium we saw, we promised ourselves we'd go back because we're convinced it can truly offer so many beautiful things!!
