BELGIAN CHOCOLATE · ON FOOT

# The sweetest walk in Bruges 

Belgium didn't invent chocolate, but it perfected the praline — and Bruges wears it on every corner. Here's how to taste it, watch it made, and carry the good stuff home.

Evergreen guide 

## A city that runs on cocoa

You're never more than a few doors from a chocolatier here. The trick isn't finding chocolate — it's knowing the difference between a factory box and a shop where someone is still tempering by hand.

## Watch it made

Half the pleasure is the window: chocolatiers piping, moulding and dipping while you watch. For the full story — bean to praline, and a few tastings along the way — Choco-Story, the chocolate museum, is a short walk from the suites and worth the hour.

## The praline

The Belgian praline is a filled chocolate — ganache, praliné, caramel or cream in a thin couverture shell. Buy a mixed hundred grams, eat them the same day, and you'll understand why people carry them back across borders.

TO GO

## Take some home

Skip the giant tourist boxes near the Markt; the best shops are the quiet ones where the range is small and the turnover fast. Ask for a fresh box, keep it cool, and don't let it rattle around your bag — good pralines bruise.
