Brussels, my discovery

Brussels, either for a week or a month… Brussels, a region where the most extraordinary places cross paths with surrealists, fashion artisans, and the elegance of "Made in Belgium".

Brussels, a Capital region which is the home to the capital of Europe and the Kingdom of Belgium, but which is also famous for the Grand'Place, Manneken-Pis, the Atomium, the treasures of the Art Nouveau and the permanent liveliness of the Heysel or Bruparck. This area is always bustling with business people attending fairs or congresses, and families and travellers visiting the Mini-Europe park.

Brussels, a city were the art of living rules and where the locals will invite you to a table outside a café for a kriek or a gueuze, in this village which has become a cosmopolitan village passionate about gastronomy.
