Tournai

by Helga67 - last update: Aug 1, 2005

T O U R N A I is a small city in the province of Hainaut, only 10 km from the French border. It is said this is one of the oldest cities of Belgium and it was a very important center of tapestry weaving in the Middle Ages.

During a motorcycle trip around the West part of Belgium, we had a short stop in Tournai. We only visited the Grand Market.

The city looked lovely and deserves some more time than only an hour. I need to come back.

 Beautiful, like so many other towns and cities in Belgium. I just love flemish architecture.

 Such a stunning opening picture! Am trying to figure out our itinerary in Belgium and I keep adding instead of subtracting!
