MEET THE DUTCH ‘s-HERTOGENBOSCH ‘s-HERTOGENBOSCH Those with a sweet tooth need not look further than the Bossche Bol. Famous for their mouth-watering chocolate covered cream puff, many try to duplicate this pastry throughout the Netherlands but you will only find the real deal in Den Bosch. Another one of a Den Bosch kind is the work of fashion designer, Addie van den Krommenacker. With shops in Den Bosch and Milan, he has been a celebrity favorite for many years. His creations have graced the runways and red carpets both at home and abroad. Not far from Addy’s showroom and studio you can find the impressive Saint Jan’s Cathedral at the edge of the city centre. To be exact, the cathedral can be found on the corner of the Parade and the Torenstraat. The basilica is built in gothic style and is considered one of the most beautiful buildings of its kind. Unique to this cathedral, are the stunning, double-flying buttresses integrated in the architecture. During the last restoration, in a nod to our modern era, a cell phone carrying angel wearing trousers became a wonderful new addition. Traditionally, religious practice and the facets of contemporary life have always traveled hand in hand. DINNER BRASSERIE TANTE PIETJE Wonderful French food served in an intimate ambiance.
