Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live a 15 min walk from the citycentre. We live by a busy street but we don't have to be there seeing we have a back entrance safe for children.
Ypres is a city with a very rich and varied past. During the Middle Ages Ypres was a flourishing trading centre. In those days Ypres was one of the main Flemish cloth centres next to Bruges and Ghent. During the First World War the charming town was reduced to a heap of rubble. Ypres was almost entirely destroyed by four years of senseless violence. The citizens of Ypres rebuilt their city with respect for the past. Today...
Ypres is a charming city for you to discover. The memory of the Great War is kept alive on the historic sites. The medieval character of Ypres can be experienced in the cosy centre or on the ramparts. It's suroundings are hilly and very green. Biking, walking are heavenly.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Ieper/Ypers is a very vibrant little city. You can explore the city on foot of by bike. Visit the website www.toerismeieper.be and you will discover the sights. On top of that we are a 10min bus, train trip away from Heuvelland (www.debergen.be) en Poperinge(www.poperinge.be). The city of Lille (France) is half an hour by car. Very worth while! Bruges and Gent are less then an hour away by car. We have a direct trainline to Kortrijk, Ghent and Antwerp. Brussels is 2 hours away by train and 1,5hour away by car. We can help you when it comes to any info inquiry on trails for walks and biking seeing we work for and in this area.
