<p>Over so many visits to Bruges I have tried many chocolate shops. There are the international brands that sell factory made chocolates (and we all know them by name) but the ones to buy when you come to Bruges are the hand-made pralines and truffles made by the shops master Chocolatier. These pralines are more delicate and made with fresh cream and so last about 6 weeks. Actually much less than that due to speed with which they are consumed!!</p><p>In Simon Stevinplein you will find "The chocolate Line" and this is famous for its' designer chocolates that are quite expensive but great for unusual special gifts. Dumon that has made a name for hand-made chocolates at mid to high prices, has also just opened in Simon Stevinplein. <a href="/go?l=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oldchocolatehouse.com%2FMap.html&tracking=external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.oldchocolatehouse.com/Map.html</a> This map wioll show you how the square is right in the middle of Bruges and at the very heart of the tourist route through the city.</p><p>I travel to Bruges nearly every month and at different times of the year I will bring back an appropriate gift for the season. By spending a small amount of time on the internet <a href="/go?l=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oldchocolatehouse.com%2FNewItems.html&tracking=external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.oldchocolatehouse.com/NewItems.html</a> it is possible to plan what you are going to get on the next visit and think about any special requests that you have before you get there</p><p>Then - near to Simon Stevinplein you will find The Old Chocolate House <a href="/go?l=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oldchocolatehouse.com%2F&tracking=external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.oldchocolatehouse.com</a> where Fa offers great friendly service so that I come back time and time again - they also mail-order and ship to friends around the world for me. </p><p>Fa Thoames is the owner - Francoise Ghislain Julia Richard Thomaes actually - and she has a wonderful Chocolate Labrador called "Bo" who may be found at <a href="/go?l=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.williamtje.com%2F&tracking=external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.williamtje.com/</a> Her daughter Barbe Van den Haute is her partner in the business and both of them are quite a team. Pleased to be of service and to give all sorts of useful advice on where you may also visit in the city.</p>
