About us

We, Philippe Vercoutter & Kristine De Loose, have been living in the Flanders region for decades. So we know the region pretty well: the Opal Coast, northern France, West Flanders and Zeeland Flanders.

The purpose of this website is certainly not to provide a complete list of tourist attractions. We stick to things we have visited ourselves and/or are so incontournable that you simply must have visited them. They are all things we stand behind 100%. The beauty and quality of "the experience" are always our main focus. Our, sometimes quirky, tourist view of this region with a rich past. Enjoy!
