Kortrijk parking

[Mike]

Can any of our Belgian / French members help with advice?

I will be in Belgium with my own car [from Hull to Zeebrugge to Ypres] but want to leave it in Kortrijk for a three or four overnight stay while travelling back and forth by rail to Paris. I cannot find any long stay car parks on the internet. What do I do?

[Brigade Piron]

Kortrijk's quite a small place so I doubt there are any I'm afraid. Short of finding someone who lives there who will lend you their drive, I don't think it's possible.

I found nothing on the town's website, but you could contact the company responsible for parking there: info@parko.be

Thanks for that guys. I'm still quite flexible on how we do this, so can work around a parking problem if there is one.

Does Kortrijk have a second-hand/antique market, area of antique / junk shops does anyone know? Somewhere I can have a hunt for badges- medals- militaria?

Don't know about fleamarkets or dealers, but there are a number of fairs:

Thanks for that, very handy links. I'd be daft not to time a visit to one of those fairs; be an interesting experience even if I buy nowt!
