Our tiny but WW famous Manneken... - Brussels
Our tiny but WW famous Manneken...

I'm working in Diegem (close to the Zaventem airport) and live in Sint Stevens Woluwe...
This is not really far from the center of Brussels but far enough not to go there every week (specially considering the parking issue)...

So, I can't really consider Brussels as my new Home town but it is pretty close to it... So far I was only using this page to keep track of the restaurant I like (or don't).

I recently had a couple of hours to kill idowntown and since I had my camera with me, I've been walking through the major sights of Brussels. I'll introduce a couple of classical must-see, what you could do in a couple of hours (plane transit for example)...

I'll try to build something more complete later on...

    Salut, Lors de ma derniere visite a Bru, je passais souvent devant le restaurant Petrus, alors ferme. Mon interet pour ce resto est mon chien qui se nomme Petrus (et oui comme le vin "Chateau Petrus" ou la biere belge du meme nom!).
