Unless you've travelled to Europe a lot already and can show you need more then one entry on this trip, they will not automatically give you a multiple-entry visa (depends somewhat on consulate, but it's true generally).
True. Stunning as Bruges is, four days is two days too many.
Thanks, I overlooked that multiple entry hassle. I've always gotten a multiple entry visa as far as I remember but it was in the US where they are more lenient. I guess I will show two trips to/from London to France - I guess I'll also have to show a fully refundable plane ticket or something because they're not going to take my word that I'll just buy a train ticket once there or after getting the visa.

Thanks, I usually do my visa apps myself since I need to prepare the sutff anyway, even with a TA.
But any opinions on who processes visas fast? I've read on Indian Compass that the French are more lenient in issuing longer duration visas so was thinking about using them but am wary how efficient they are. There was also a random post that claimed the process changed in Feb 2012 and is now backed up for months but I couldn't find any more information or evidence of this. How about the Belgians? The Dutch?
And any opinions on changing itinerary once I've got the visa? I don't think I'll have a problem but just wanted to make sure.
