Paterskerk (Tienen) 🇧🇪

The Paterskerk/Beguinage Church in Tienen is more than a historical monument; it is a vibrant part of the community that embodies the rich history, cultural traditions and unyielding character of the city of Tienen.

Before heading to the Airbnb, I stopped at De Paterskerk, also known as the Begijnhofkerk. This historic monument in Tienen tells a story of evolution and rebirth.



Vive la Fête 🇧🇪

For many years now, Vive la Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.

No story needed! Once again, great show!
