Europe’s Largest Fortress with a Side of Salmon

Today’s step count won’t impress any fitness tracker, 6k steps, thanks to hours of sitting in the car on our way home from “La douche France.” But sometimes the road gifts you something better than numbers.

Not too far from the Belgian border, we decided on a “quick stop.” You know the kind, stretch your legs, snap a photo, back on the road. Except this time, the stop happened to be at the largest fortified castle in Europe. When I say massive, I mean it: thick stone walls rising like cliffs, gateways that look like they’ve swallowed armies, and a presence that humbles you the moment you step through.

And then came the twist: hidden behind those fortress walls was not just history, but a gastronomical restaurant. So what started as “let’s just peek inside” turned into a sit-down lunch. The dish was simple but precise, perfectly cooked salmon, broad beans, and vegetables that carried as much flavor as the centuries-old stones around us. It felt like time-travel with a fine-dining detour.

So yes, only 6k steps today. But when those steps include walking through castle gates, standing in the shadows of history, and savoring a meal you didn’t plan for, I’d say that’s worth more than the number on the tracker. Sometimes the road home gives you a parting gift, and today’s was unforgettable, and allows for another follow up post later on!
