A 5-day stay in Ostend: the seafront and harbour, James Ensor’s house, then Bruges and Damme, at a gentle pace.

Ostend, nicknamed the “Queen of the Beaches”, has kept the elegance of its Royal Galleries and its long seafront promenade, ideal for a stroll facing the sea. Your group stays four nights in a 3-star hotel with lift, on half board, without changing rooms. Days alternate between visits and free time: the harbour and its fish market, the house of the painter James Ensor, then Bruges and the peaceful village of Damme. The journey from Belgium is short, leaving restful days. A simple, comfortable seaside stay, perfect for pensioners’ clubs.
