you probably think of the Cloth halls, they are next to eachother
you have the market place, then the cloth halls to one side
and the Cathedral is behind that , along with the unknown soldier monument...
the cloth halls is the one with the In Flanders Fields museum
it's a really heavy on the senses ordeal, suddenly the lights go dark, and you hear shelling, with flashes... , or they have a green smoke suddenly come out through plexi tubes with lights under it
to simulate a gas attack...
i've been there several times , back when i still maintained the website, and every time i still noticed new things...it's not about the generals or tactics, it's about the misery
if you went on a school trip in 1993, then chances are you ate fries at the snack bar on the market place we get busloads of british schoolkids and it was the only fast food joint on the marketplace, no macdonalds,.... hell , it's possible that i was there working , it was my mothers place...
this is opposite the cloth halls
