The Meert tea room

❤0

The Meert tea room — You can enjoy the waffles that are the great specialty of the house in a lovely tea room. Meert's waffles are not like the classic waffles you find everywhere. They are cold and filled with vanilla. The quality of the ingredients is undeniable but this waffle is very (too) sweet and quite quickly sickening.

Our Lady of the Treille

When the bells were finished, the church was not ready to receive them, so a bell tower was quickly built next door. This one is still in use.
