Brussels says big, say small is not small. If you give me a sunny Sunday, have nothing to do, I would not hesitate to choose to Les Marolles around, with no guilt to fritter away a day.
The fox StreetThe fox street, play ball square and Ding Ding
In the Les Marolles sloshing, look, is the huge volume, the top golden Palais Justice (French, namely the palace of justice). The palace built in the eighteen sixties, it was built thisBelgiumThe highest judicial body, removal of part of the Les Marolles old street. Take the outdoor straight staircase to the bottom, can clearly see the years left in Brussels one of the most ancient of block traces, as if to two centuries ago.
Now Les Marolles has become the antique Taobao. Rue Haute (French, high street) on both sides covered with large and small different styles of antique shops, interspersed with some modern art gallery and the modern secondary fashion shop.
The road to a junction corner, if you see a cart selling reeky sea snail soup old woman, then turn right and walk along to extend downward path is down Rue des Renards (French, fox street). This is a small road and my favorite in the Les Marolles region. Probably because too little reason, it only as a pedestrian use.
Almost every walk to the Het Werm water / L Eau chaude ('HollandEnglish / French), hot water when the small pavilion had stopped to rest, drink a cup of even bargain organic apple juice or a local mill production of glass bottles of coke, or simply a sign Brussels style breakfast and lunch -- a thick chicory root diameter soup with bread and butter, simple and delicious.
3 years ago the first time here, asked the boss name origin. The original LesMarolles area was once inhabited Brussels poor working-class, not every family can burn hot water. Boiler shop is the predecessor of the area daily selling hot water, when the daily evening with a roar, each and every family would rush out to buy water carrying copper pot, no wonder the shop interiors and shutters can be seen everywhere on the kettle shape. Unfortunately, the boss will be "retired", "water" the future of the shop has become unknown.
"Diagonally opposite hot water" is a small Menlian, at first glance very ordinary small shop Restobi �� res (French, beer restaurant). The owner and chef Alain Fayt is authentic Belgian, warm humor. Look around the walls, I could not find out more than the Belgian restaurant interior -- window "Pathetique" display a part has been permanently discontinued the Belgian beer brand of the empty bottles, and the gorgeous royal head with empty cookie jar. Exciting is, here main is unexpectedly by various famous Belgian beer cooked dishes! 9, October, 19 big Europe a season of Hommelbier (French, Homeier beer brewed in Qingkou), most refreshing but; purse out doesn't matter, only 5 in Europe will be able to taste the cherry beer flavor sorbet or waffles.
With be just perfect tipsy, along the "hot" and "beer restaurant" the fox street walk before, click into place, this is Brussels's famous Place Du Jeu de Balle (French, play ball square) outdoor flea markets -- the only one open daily flea market.
Spielberg's "the adventures of Tintin", Ding Ding appeared on the stage wearingTurkeyBlue turtleneck sweater and nifty Khaki long woollen overcoat, and dog snow in the flea market "taobao". Sunday wandering around here often run into a new generation of Belgium Bobo youth, all like to jump out of Ding Ding in the movie. But the film Ding Dingru to treasure found the schooners model lens in a stall there, the background is red brick facade by Eglise Notre-Dame Immaculee (French, to Frauenkirche).
Square the southeast corner of the Ding Ding theme comic shop tells us: apparently, Herg �� original comic book author Ding Ding (translated as Herge) once was a frequent visitor to the flea market. Perhaps, it is one day, walking in the above play ball square, is surrounded by numerous exotic antiques, Mr Herg had a brainwave, chose the name "piece" of the Chinese young men, as a friend of Ding Ding.
