    An Escape to France and Belgium

    Today is the first day of the itinerary, and you will head first to the beautiful city of Metz. Usually skipped, it is worth the detour. Discover the gem of the city: the famous Pompidou Centre before heading to a solar boat tour. After this, you will make your way up to Belgium, stopping in Longwy that is located at the border. Longwy was a strategic point in history and its stunning fortified walls are UNESCO heritage. You will end the day in Belgium in the beautiful city of Florenville to get ready for day 2.

    Exploring the Magnificent Nature and Heritage in the Belgian Ardennes

    The last day of this itinerary is where you will have a chance to visit the magnificent ruins of Orval Abbey. After your tour, enjoy some Trappist beer and cheese they are producing on site! Alongside that awesome local lunch spot in Bastogne (which I highly recommend), there's also plenty more adventures waiting for us on the way - including seeing the town of Bastogne, a strategic point of World War II.
