Proud towers, pituresque market squares with magnificent town halls,
canals and bridges: Flanders owes everything to the sea and trade. With
its cities like Bruges, Antwerp, and Ghent, Flanders has been one of the
most important centers of Western art and culture since the middle Ages.
The traces of flemish masters such as Rubens or Van Eyck are much a part
of Flanders as the desire for pleasure and good food. It is no wonder
then that the creative Flemings also draw comics, brew 100 different
beers, invent chocolates, cook masterfully, and of course make the best
French fries.
