With its festivals, traditional inns called estaminets, landscapes and know-how, there are many sides to Flanders. Whether you're sporty or a gourmet, curious or daring, or all of the above, Flemish adventure has lots to offer, in France and in Belgium...
Located between France and Belgium, the Monts de Flandre set you a challenge. Will you accept? Are you ready for panoramic views of vineyards and hop fields? Will you be able to climb the tough wooded paths of Mont Noir or Mont des Cats? Will you manage to pronounce "Godewaersvelde" correctly? Will you dare to take on the challenge of the Nord Trail Monts de Flandre or the Cassel Urban Trail ? Whether you're walking, cycling or running, there's always a great way to get moving!
We really love our terroir here in Flanders. And what's more, we love to share it. From Michelin-starred restaurants to traditional estaminets, come and discover the flavours of Flanders, from starter to dessert. You'll find authentic products, grown and produced with care and character, just like the people of Flanders themselves.
Speaking of products with character, hops are everywhere here. You'll see them growing and curling along the hop fields. You'll find them in our local products: obviously from our brewers like 3 Monts or Brasserie du Pays Flamand, but also in our soap and desserts.
No winter without carnival! This winter highlight warms hearts and is eagerly awaited by all. It's such a thrill to see Gargantua, the giant of the Bailleul carnival, parade past every Mardi Gras. And Reuze Papa looks spectacular at the Cassel carnival every Easter Monday. If the Flemish giants are eye-catchers at local festivals, so too are the carnival costumes, each more colourful than the last. Carnival is almost an Olympic discipline here and a time for sharing and enjoying the atmosphere together!
The Flemish adventure can also be enjoyed by the whole family. With play areas dotting the border on both sides, young and old alike can get up close to nature to enjoy themselves and enjoy all that it has to offer.
