text: Fantastic assignment!  Beautiful countryside.  Dripping in history.  Great food.  Fantastic beer.  Great people.  English isn't widely spoken though it's not that hard to find someone with English skills.  Your high-school French is welcomed, unlike in Paris.\n\nIf you've enjoyed Germany, you'll love Belgium as well.  And it's only a few hours drive to Germany.  Fast and easy PCS.\n\nOh, yeah, and NO STAIRWELLS!!
