A school hockey tour to Belgium has its advantages: it has a rich cultural mix with French, German and Flemish being spoken, but most Belgians also speak English. You get an accessible, bite-size piece of Europe, all in one country.
Belgium is extremely under-rated. It has great architecture, beautiful small town squares and as sophisticated a café society as France, even if you partake indoors most of the year.
Jean-Claude van Damme, Eddie Merckz, Rene Magritte, Herge and Peter Rubens will answer the inevitable tour question, to which you may want to add over 350 beers, chocolate, diamonds and Waterloo.
