There are still places that breathe the atmosphere of how Brabant was a century ago. Take Hotel Restaurant St. Lambert for example. The place and tranquility tell you that you

are not far away from the Peel nature reserve, and the lavish menus are indicative of an exuberant lifestyle that is still cherished here.

This is Helmond at its best. This is the part of Brabant that Joop and Jos Boers would like you to remember.
