Your visit through this other Brussels will take you to discover the "La Fleur en papier" bar where the surrealist painter Magritte shared his ideas and discuss art questions. You will then have the chance to enjoy a traditional Belgian lunch (not included) in this magical place and filled with artistic memories. But there are other places to explore than even the Brussels do not suspect : the palace of Charles whose ruins remain under the present royal quarter.
A few steps from the Grand’ Place, there is a house of charm and lingerie that was dedicated to the pleasures of the flesh and right next to it, hides a statue of Saint-Michel to whom we removed the cuirasse, so we discover it naked at the top of the column of a fountain. And what about this small chapel erected in Saint Roch, the patron of the pestiférés in a neighborhood that was for a long time a neighborhood exposed to the dangers of the plague?
