Walking loops in Patershol, Ghent
The lanes here are small enough to hear conversations through open windows and narrow enough that two cars meeting is news. Gravensteen squats at one end, all stone and arrow-slits and the kind of dungeon that earned its keep. Restaurants tuck into 16th-century almshouses on Kraanlei; chocolate shops keep windows tidy. The Huis van Alijn fills former hospice rooms with everyday things from previous centuries — wedding photos, schoolbooks, the contents of an attic.
