- Chateau Vacations (Wallonia, Belgium): The French-speaking region of Belgium is noted for its beautiful chateaux, dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, set in the countryside amid ornamental gardens and often surrounded by moats. Nowadays, some of these venerable, stately homes have been transformed into hotels or restaurants, offering guests luxurious living and fine dining. A weekend in one of these chateaux is surely among the most romantic getaways imaginable. For more information, contact the Wallonia-Brussels Tourist Office (tel. 02/504-0200).
