Land of towns and villages

Nestling between lush green countryside and maritime horizons, Terre de Flandre Tourisme opens the doors to a region that is as authentic as it is welcoming. From its lively towns to its discreetly charming villages, every turn is an invitation to discover, meet and marvel.

One getaway, a thousand discoveries A natural setting for relaxation

In the Land of Flanders, history is written in the bricks of the houses, the sparrow-stepped gables, the windmills that turn proudly at the top of the hills, and the churches with their imposing steeples. Each village and town has its own unique story to tell: Bergues, surrounded by ramparts, Esquelbecq and its castle, Wormhout, Watten, Volckerinckhove and Herzeele all boast a unique architectural, natural and cultural heritage.

Folk festivals, Flemish markets, cosy estaminets, traditional dances and colourful giants: traditions are alive and well in Flanders! Here,local identity is shared with pride and good humour, in a friendly and sincere atmosphere. It’s this human warmth that makes a lasting impression on visitors… and makes them want to come back again.

Whether you’re a heritage enthusiast, a nature lover, an epicurean in search of local flavours or just a stroller, the towns and villages of Flanders promise you an escapade rich in emotion. Take your time… and let yourself be surprised.
