Tales and Legends of Bruges - Part I Andy Borgonjon

Bruges has so many tales and legends. Some tour guides love to tell them. They are funny, bring the city more to life and sometimes give you a little bit of background information on history. Because we know that those stories often have some truth in them. In this book you find, next to the tales and legends, with every story an additional "true or not" chapter. Digging through the archives, trying to find the truth in the story. Where did it come from? How much of it is true? Where does the imagination of the people started doing their work? With this book you get the most information on where those tales came from. This first book with tales and legends takes you on a walk, bringing you through Bruges by means of clear and easy-to-use maps so you won't get lost in the cobweb-patterned streets of the city. Taking you to parts you'd miss as a regular visitor, so you get the most of your time in Bruges!You already went to Bruges, took a walk with a guide but was left unsatisfied? This book offers a well balanced mix of entertainment and education, bringing the history of the city to life. With more than enough pictures to show what is told, a fun to read book. But, well documented and researched to bring you the correct information.
