Brugge/Bruges
Those who have traveled in Belgium will know that there are 2 names for every city. One is Flemish and one is French. Brugge (Flemish) & Bruges (French) are quite similar; however, the Flemish name for Mons is Bergen which is not as easy to presume is "Mons" on a highway sign unless you already know this. ;)
February in the magical city of Bruges:
