Explore Brussels by foot with François

The meeting point is Brussels main square "La Grand Place." This is an excellent starting point as it was the main market of the city known in dutch as the "Nethermarkt." I will explain the geography of the Low Countries, the governors of these regions through history, and the economic development with the sheep whool, cereals (beer of course), metals, etc. The idea is to know why Brussels was (and is still today) an important economic centre. Then we walk to most important landmarks of the city centre such as: Statue of Manneken Pis a symbol of the city and its museum. Statue of Jacques Brel the belgian GOAT (greastest of all times) Visit the medieval fortified wall built in the 13th centuy Aristocratic neighbourdhood SABLON with its antiques and diamond shops and the gothic church Notre Dame du Sablon, a french style garden Petit Sablon and Palace Egmont. Tour ends in Mont des Arts, with Rue Royale (royal street) Palace of Justice, the museums, and the iconic Royal Square.
