December 4^th – Honfleur, France

Originally occupied in the 9th century by the Vikings, the charming town of Honfleur has attracted artists for many years, with masterpieces housed in its museums and art galleries. Under the guidance of Eugène Boudin, a young Claude Monet and his friend Alfred Sisley began studying light effects and painting landscapes outdoors, rather than from memory, trailblazing for artists of the future.

December 5^th – 6^th – Zeebrugge, Belgium

Perhaps most famous for its delicious Belgian chocolate, Bruges (from Zeebrugge) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautiful canals and historic buildings. Often referred to as the ‘Venice of the North’, its combination of original gothic structures and modern buildings make for a unique appearance. Home to the impressive 13th century Belfry and the Church of our Lady, the medieval town also offers many independent chocolatiers.

December 7^th – Rotterdam, Netherlands

The words innovative and inspiring sum up Rotterdam, a major port in the Dutch province of South Holland. The Netherlands’ second largest city, Rotterdam has a diverse community, a captivating maritime history, and an abundance of excellent museums. When you arrive, you will find the city is an exhibition of futuristic architecture, an achievement even more remarkable considering Rotterdam was destroyed during World War II.
