Talbot House, everyone welcome with payment 😜

I visited Talbot House a long time ago when it was still free. Now the location has been expanded with a museum that is very interesting and worthwhile. Don't forget the top floor, where theater used to be played by soldiers. Now you get the opportunity to experience this again. Once you are outside the museum building you enter Talbot Garden = an oasis of peace within the center of Poperinge. On the other side of the museum building there is another small building that is also used as an exhibition space. Also worth the effort. In the Talbot House you will be welcomed by English hospitality. Reception with tea, which you can enjoy inside or on the terrace when the weather is nice. Be sure to look at the front door. On the right is a frame against the wall with an overview map of the front line. During the war period, many visitors to the Talbot House here shared their experiences with other fellow sufferers. The dark spots on the map indicate where fierce battles were fought several times. Don't forget to visit the very top floor. A steep wooden staircase takes you to a contemplation room. Hundreds of thousands have preceded you during the war years. Witness to this are the worn steps of the stairs. Enter these with all dignity. The Talbot House is still today a place of tranquility in our hectic world. And you can relax there, inside or certainly at the back of the garden. Enjoy it.
