For a stay that long, I recommend a trip out to the Poperinge area. Go to the pub In De Vrede and get some Westvleteren beer (only place it's officially for sale except if you win the phone lottery with the monks), and take some home. Long considered by many the best beer in the world. Stay at the nearby B&B by the St. Bernardus brewery, and have a tour.
Side trip to Ypres for WW1 stuff is worthwhile.
I am still a maybe. Trying to talk my brother into it.
