I have also done several seminars of Medieval art, Industrial history, mythology. . . But most of all, I'm passionate about the amazing cultural and historical heritage of the Belgian cities. And I'm also writer what gives extra thrilling to my stories and the way I explain them. Don't expect a boring tour with me.

Overview of your Leuven tour

Leuven has been a university city for the last 600 years. Founded in 1425, KU Leuven is one of the oldest universities in Europe and a world-renowned center of knowledge and science. But there is much more to see in this city. Far from the crowed streets of Bruges, here you will discover the most impressive town hall (a jewel of the Gothic style), the most beautiful beguinage, the amazing story of Father Damien (or Saint Damien of Molokai), the painful traces of both world wars and even the origin of the universe with Georges Lemaître, father of the theory of the Big Bang. What a city to discover....
