Around the world in Belgium

After writing my first book on the most beautiful Belgian destinations, all of which have been assimilated to another country throughout the world, I’m writing another book on the spots where you can go stand-up paddling. Very quickly, I invited anyone to join me on my walks to write the book. I like the activities, I like welcoming Belgium to meet Belgium, in a natural environment…

And after ?

Marie: ‘Anything is possible in life. The more you go down, the more you come back up’.
