What to expect
You'll depart Paris by coach and arrive in Bruges with the entire day ahead. The town is compact and designed for wandering—most key sites cluster within easy walking distance. If you've chosen the audio option, download the app beforehand and follow the commentary at your own speed; otherwise, simply meander. Expect cobbled streets, narrow lanes, and plenty of photo stops. The beguinage offers quiet respite from busier squares. Bring cash or cards for lunch and shopping; the market is worth a proper browse. By late afternoon, you'll reconvene for the coach journey back to Paris.
Good to know

The coach is air-conditioned but the walking demands moderate fitness. Meals and drinks aren't included; budget accordingly. Prams and infant seats available on request.
