French Lycee in Brussels
I notice that you have no information about the French Lycee in your items on International/Worlwide schools in Belgium, Schools from around the world. A pity as it is an excellent school with around 2000 pupils from 65 countries. My three children were there.

Bed and breakfast in Ghent
If you are visiting Ghent, try out his bed and breakfast in the the historical "Prinsenhof". The owner is charming, the breakfast wonderful, and the atmosphere and the surroundings are simple, elegant and stylish. A great place to chill out.
We found the B&B at the last minute via this webisite:www.bedandbreakfast-gent.be
