A meeting in Gent, which I remember from previous (brief) visits as a very nice looking town indeed. Part of the trip included a boat trip, around Gent's 2 rivers and a canal - similar to a mini Amsterdam, and a great way to see the city. In the centre of town, the place is blessed with a good lack of cars - just pedestrians and cyclists competing for space, in lots of nice squares and narrow streets.
Gent seems similar to Lille as a weekend destination - not too far away, a bit to do and see, but not too much to really tax you for a weekend. Which of course leaves plenty of time to retire to a bar or cafe, to sample the headache-inducingly-strong Belgian beer.
