Ghent
Ghent in English. Gent in Dutch. Gand or Gant in French. Formerly Gaunt in English (before spell check technology). All the same town. An old bugger of a Belgium city, founded on the confluence of the Lys and Scheldt rivers as a grain trading and mercantile center. It quickly became one of the wealthiest cities in Europe. Today, it is a shipping port and university town. It is a great town to see old, Flemish-style business buildings.
