We may also, if time allows, pop over into France to Sedan, where the Prussians captured Napoleon III in 1870, and which is the site of the largest fortified castle in Europe and the northern end of the Maginot Line. On the way back to Clervaux, the Battle of the Bulge Museum at Diekirch. This drive should be the longest of our trip about three hours actual driving time. This will be the first of four nights in Ypres. July 21 Ypres battlefield sites.
Ramparts strolls in the evenings are optional.
Night 2 in Ypres. Full day excursion to Bruges, less than an hour from Ypres. The plan is to go early and stay late. In Bruges, tour on your own but you'll have hard choices, considering the extensive art collections, architecture, etc. Free day with optional trip to Dunkirk.
