Eric was knowledgable and enjoyed the subject. Good company too. I had a lot of questions as I already knew quite a lot about the chyronology of the battle - or thought I did ! Seeing the topography and putting the chronology into context was a salutary experience. Extraordinary to visit there alone. Nevermind the main battle site. Still can't quite fathom the French obsession (a costly one) with Hougoumont. A bit late to ask Napoleon now. Well worth the time spent looking at the whole site and gleaning Eric's knowledge to complement my perception.Ask Eric Anything

Merci encore une fois, Éric, pour ta superbe visite sur l’Art Nouveau. J’étais déjà très heureuse que j’en ai trouvé une, car au départ cela paraissait sans chance malgré le fait que Bruxelles est la capitale de ce style. Pendant plus de 3 heures on a parcouru plusieurs endroits tout en se déplaçant en moyens de transport en commun et vu une belle quantité de splendides maisons Art Nouveau, des témoins éloquents de leur temps. En étant une passionnée de ce style, je n’arrêtais pas de prendre de photos jusqu’à ce que mon portable ne se soit éteint juste devant la dernière maison :). Qu’est-ce que le temps passe vite quand on est en bonne compagnie et on apprend beaucoup de choses intéressantes !Merci Eric

Eric nos recibió en un día especial para la ciudad vestido con un traje tradicional; nos sumergió en un paseo histórico por el centro de Bruselas, haciendo referencia no solamente a datos históricos sinó también a leyendas, acompañandolo todo con notas de humor que nos hicieron reir un buen rato. Destacar que Eric respondió con creces las preguntas relacionadas con temas históricos y políticos que nuestro hijo mayor hizo, con un dominio espectacular de la historia, no sólo de Bruselas, sinó también de Bélgica y de Europa. También comentar que Eric nos recomendó un buen número de sitios donde comer o tomar alguna cosa, tanto locales turísticos como sitios más autóctonos. Nos llevamos un gran recuerdo de Bruselas y de Eric. Mil gracias por el paseo; nos acordaremos siempre de la ciudad. Mil gracias por el paseo; nos acordaremos siempre de la ciudad.
