Leaving Lille, the Flemish plain flattens out along the Lys: it’s a neat 75 km via the A22/E17 to Ghent, another 50 km on the N9 to Bruges, then roughly 100 km back through the E40 toward Brussels and home. Three medieval cores, three moods: Ghent’s trio of towers and the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (1432) at St. Bavo’s, Bruges’ quiet Reie quays, and Brussels’ Brabantine Gothic City Hall on the Grand-Place. You’ll hear carillons, read brickwork like a timeline, and trace Flemish paint from Van Eyck to Memling.
The day is structured yet flexible: hotel pickup at 8 am, Mercedes on standby, and while your driver handles traffic and parking, you taste, visit, compare. In Ghent, drop-off by the Graslei for a short walk to St. Bavo’s; in Bruges, wait time by Burg Square while you climb the Belfry’s 366 steps; in Brussels, a held table at Noordzee – Mer du Nord or Aux Armes de Bruxelles, depending on appetite and clock. Distances are short, pacing adjusts, and the circuit breathes.

Your chauffeur’s tip
To view the Mystic Lamb without crowds, aim for St. Bavo’s opening at 10:00 and prebook the Polyptych tickets; then head to Bruges before the coaches, ideally arriving around 11:30.
