The word 'Flandrien' was originally a swear word for the Flemish seasonal workers in Wallonia and Northern France: rough guys, perseverers, not afraid of anything.
Later, the word took on a completely different color in the cycling world and was included in the Dikke Van Dale:
"a cyclist who, in addition to great physical strength, is characterized by the ability to maintain his fighting spirit in unfavorable (weather) conditions, and is therefore extremely suitable for riding the Flemish spring classics."

The Hallentoren has undergone several transformations. Its current appearance dates from 1558-1560, except for the coats of arms of important families and lordships, which were added during the 1890 restoration.
The pear-shaped campanile houses a rare Du Méry carillon. In 1773, the Bruges bell founders Du Méry made it possible to enjoy atmospheric music. Perhaps you'll be lucky and find yourself enjoying some music right now! The Hallentoren was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999.

Olivier de Neckere was born in 1434 in Tielt as the son of a barber, living on the Market. When Lodewijk de Valois, the later French king, met Olivier on the Market, a true adventure began for Olivier: he became a confidant of the French king Louis XI and went to court with him. Cunning as he was, he picked up a piece of the pie for himself here and there. 'Necker' is an old Flemish word for 'devil', hence the name 'Olivier the Devil'. He was a true plaything of the French king. After the death of Louis XI, he was hanged on the gallows of Montfaucon in 1484. His death was a political settling of scores.
