Belgium is a land of contrasts.  From the powerhouse headquarters of the European Union and EuropeÕs grandest square in big-city Brussels, we go quaint with delicate lace and back lane bike rides in small-town Bruges.  We check into a medieval hospital, savor the exquisite art of Memling, and climb a bell tower to get up close and fortissimo at a carillon concert.  Then passionate chefs - creators of French fries and EuropeÕs finest chocolate—give us a taste of their art.
