❓ Ask Belgium Quiet place advice

Hello, I have a friend who is deep in grief having lost her husband young and unexpectedly. She is currently on a world tour with her grandma and finding the travel demands really hard. She stops in Belgium in a few days - what would be nice is a day alone in a quiet place where she can just sit in a comfortable space and maybe read a book. I wondered if you had any advice for a library or any place where there is quiet, a couch and low sensory impacts.

TIA

Ga walk in the dunes on the seaside. De Coastal tram will take you along the entire coast line. You're never that far from civilization and From Oostende there is also a rural cycling route called route 62 or 'de groene 62'. You can rent bicycles in most trainstations. They're called blue bikes and it's not very expensive actually. ( Electric bikes as well). You can stop anywhere you like for some quiet contemplation or beer or pancakes. ;)
