The ParisVision site was an excellent suggestion, Christina. The Brugge tour takes 13 hours (leaving at 7:15 AM) and costs 119 Euros, with an extra 12 Euros if picked up from one's hotel. For me personally I think I will still skip Brugge this time, but it is a reasonable option.

Winecruiser, I suggest you take a look at the post today on Paris Tout Groups, which rates the various guided bus excursions from Paris, including a trip to Brugge.
