I had friends, whom sadly I’ve lost touch with, who lived in La Louviere south of Brussels. I’d often drive over from Hull, stay with them, then drive further, dump the car ( years ago it was a Saab 9000 CS 2.3) and walk in both the Vosges and Jura along the GR5 with a bunch of Belgian friends. Beautiful parts of the world, very different hills to the high stuff south of Lac Leman.
Somewhere else I’d love to return to. Decent beer, cheese, contented cows and even low altitude winter sports resorts...I remember staying in Mouthe, a small town in the Comte region of the Jura and it’s claim to fame was the lowest temperature recorded in France.
