Cobblestones are stones that were frequently used in the pavement of early streets. “Cobble”, the diminutive of the archaic English word “cob”, meaning “rounded lump”, originally referred to any small stone rounded by the flow of water; essentially, a large pebble. It was these smooth “cobbles”, gathered from stream beds, that paved the first “cobblestone” streets. In England, it was commonplace since ancient times for flat stones with a flat narrow edge to be set on edge to provide an even paved surface. This was known as a ‘pitched’ surface and was common all over Britain, as it did not require rounded pebbles.

Belgian blocks don’t interlock like concrete or clay pavers, so they need a solid base and hard joints to handle vehicle traffic.
Driveway Apron:
To stand up to heavy loads, these aprons should be constructed in three layers: a reinforced concrete base, a mortar bed, and the mortar-jointed Belgian blocks on top. The whole assembly is about 1 ft. thick and should be built on undisturbed soil. The concrete base is 6 in. thick, but it doesn’t require the precision of a normal slab.
Set a stringline on one edge and measure down to check our concrete depth along that side, and use a 2×8 form board as reference on the other. We place half the concrete, lay-in welded wire reinforcement, place the rest of the concrete, rake it roughly flat, and compact it with the faces of the rakes. (Article From Fine Homebuilding)
