My husband and I were on a short trip to Paris for his work. On the day he had mostly off, we had Frederic drive us to Bruges since we had never been to Belgium and the pictures looked amazing. After a very comfortable ride there, Frederic started a walking tour with us in the morning and we quickly realized the pictures did not do this quaint city justice! We felt like Disney had created this perfect little town for people to see. Frederic walked us around before we stopped for lunch together. He was going to leave us to dine alone but we asked him to join us because we enjoyed his company so much and we wanted to hear more about the city. After lunch, he gave us the option of having him continue to walk us around or we could explore on our own. We chose to explore on our own since we felt he had given us such a good overview that morning. We had plans to tour the Chocolate Museum but when we arrived, it was closed due to the time of year. We actually didn't mind much and we just spent the day wandering the beautiful streets around the canals and stopping for hot chocolate and waffles. I would highly suggest a visit to Bruges to feel like you have stepped back in time. Speaking of time, we toured in January and lucked out that it wasn't extremely cold. The crowds were very low so it was easy to wander the streets and sometimes we found ourselves the only ones exploring the small alleyways. I would definitely return to Bruges one day and would highly suggest taking this tour especially if it is your first visit or if you have very limited time in the city.

I contacted Antoine a few months before our planned trip, and his responses were always prompt and helpful. He met us at the train station, got us set up with all our gear, and sent us happily on our way. I was visiting Chantilly specifically to see the horse museum at the Chateau, but travelling with me were my husband and 3 yo. Museums are not my daughter's thing, so she and her Dad had a great time (occasionally getting a bit lost!) in the Chantilly forest on an electric bike with rear-mounted child seat, while I enjoyed the museum. Afterwards we all met up and went for a ride to a site within the forest that Antoine recommended, and it really was just a lovely day. At the end of the day we were able to leave the bikes locked up at the train station at our convenience, for Antoine to collect at his convenience. Unfortunately all the bike parking by 5pm was chock-full, but we were just waiting for the next train so didn't mind staying with the bikes until Antoine came to pick them up. The full day cost us 75 euro, which isn't exactly cheap, but it was so worth it. The bikes and equipment were in great condition, and the pick-up and drop-off service that Antoine provides is so convenient that I think it was money well spent. I highly recomment Antoine and his Bobebikes!

Ignore Rick Steves and the other clowns promoting this stuff. This pass promises jump the line and easier entry into a ton of sites. It's kinda like a useless coupon book a high school kid might sell as a fundraiser. It gives one good place or two and the rest of the sites are not that good. For instance, we used it for the Louvre. Keep in mind there will be others with better tickets or advanced appointments. At the Louvre we were placed in a separate line while the other ticketed people went in before us. And they went in and went in and went in. Not so much for skipping a line. Buy the metro tickets separately. Oh and don't let the guys at the store tell you that you'll have an extra day with the attractions pass vs the museum pass. Nope. The aquarium scanned our card and we lost a day. We spent nearly $500 and maybe used $75 worth. The value is horrible.

The Cathedral still bares wounds of war, with it's bullet hole ridden front wall. Inside, a typical cathedral experience you can expect with any European Cathedral.
