"Bruxelles, ma belle..." Brussels by Maillekeukeul

Well, le'ts be honest. I wouldn't have gone back to Brussels, that I had already visited when I was around 16, if VT member Biloune had not invited me for her 25th birthday... As I was most pleased to be welcomed by a gorgeous woman, I couldn't refuse to cross the border between France and the "flat land" (well, French people, following a song written by the most famous Belgium singer, Jacques Brel, do call "Belgium" the "flat land"), once again... I had few time there, but great time if not great weather (hesitating between a splendid sun, clouds everywhere, rain and even... snow !!). Here is the highest parts of "La Grand Place", probably the most famous square of Brussels...

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:The townhall of Europe
  • Cons:So coooooold in winter !!!
  • In a nutshell:Biloune's nest

    Hi, I live in Belgium. I see you visited Brussels. Some mistakes: it's French fries, but they are Belgian and not only Brussels is famous for beer: whole Belgium is famous for its beer. Don't hate me now :-)
