This combination makes Belgium a perfect destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the festive spirit.

Cruising the Canals of Mons is a delightful way to explore the scenic waterways of this charming Belgian city. The canals, which have played a significant role in the region's history, offer a unique perspective on Mons' picturesque landscapes and architectural heritage. As you glide along the water, you'll pass by historic buildings and lush parks, while enjoying the tranquil ambience.
Later, we stop over to explore the Louvain-la-Neuve Christmas market, beautifully decorated with lights and snowy trees. Spread over two main squares, this market is considered one of the best in Europe. Chalets offer handmade crafts, waffles and other Belgian treats as well as entertainment to add to the wonderful festive atmosphere.

We enjoy a full day cruising through the beautiful countryside along the Brussels Canal and gaining a unique perspective on the city. The canal, which connects Brussels to the Scheldt River, provides a serene and picturesque route through urban and natural landscapes. As you glide along the water, you'll pass by modern architecture, historical buildings, and green spaces, all while enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the canal.

This impressive structure, built in 1968, elevates boats over a height difference of 67.73 meters (222 feet) using two massive caissons and, during the cruise, we witness the operation of this incredible piece of machinery up close. The surrounding area offers beautiful scenery, with lush greenery and serene waters against a picturesque backdrop.
