Beschrijving

Dear comrades,

Hayasa Gent would like to invite you to our city trip to the city of Ypres.
Ypres is a city with a very rich and varied past. During the Middle Ages Ypres was a flourishing trading centre. In those days Ypres was one of the main Flemish cloth centres next to Bruges and Ghent. During the First World War the charming town was reduced to a heap of rubble. Ypres was almost entirely destroyed by four years of senseless violence. The citizens of Ypres rebuilt their city with respect for the past.

With our citytrip we would like to discover this charming city. The following activities are on the agenda:
- visiting the Flanders Fields Museum (5 €)
- tasting the delicious local beers
- walking through the old city walls
- visiting the Menin Gate Memorial

Practical information:
We would gather at 14h30 at the market square of Ypres.
People who will be later, can always contact Tigran at the following number: 0485251087
