Are you coming ?

.

I would be happy to take you on the classic walks through Brussels and show you the most important sights of the city.

I am just as happy to take you to lesser-known, often surprising places such as

  • La Région du Centre (Mining, canals and boat lifts)
  • Liège (Meuse region, bishop's see, longest staircase in the country)
  • Mons (Old town and mining)
  • Diest (Citadel and old town)
  • Leuven (St Peter, Stella Artois Brewery, Beguinage, University City)
  • Lier (Tower and 5 meter high clockwork with the slowest hand in the world)
  • Hageland (Scherpenheuvel pilgrimage site, Averbode Abbey)


And if you are looking for a companion for several days, I will prepare the short trip for you: e.g. Ypres in West Flanders, with a combination of World War 1 and cycling.

Thematic excursions are also possible: Unesco World Heritage, European Institutions, industrial culture, beguinages, mining, world wars or Art Nouveau.
Belgian politics and our famous sense of compromise are worth a tour as well - Yesbutnobut ! 


I would also be happy to take you to Ghent, Bruges or Antwerp to take a closer look at the world-famous works of art there. For classic short city tours, I recommend local colleagues.

Beauty is what you like


The peculiar architecture in Brussels is a chapter in itself: the city is divided and partly hollowed out, the skyline is a jumble, and the original river, the Senne, has disappeared.

From the terrace of the Royal National Library you can see - tiny - the Palace of Justice.

Exceptional museums


Less well known than the Flemish Masters, tapestries, altarpieces and Art Nouveau are the Franco-Flemish polyphonists: the Elton Johns of the 15th and 16th centuries. To be seen and heard in KBR.

KBR = the National Library has recently integrated early music into its exhibition. A discovery!

"Vivons heureux, vivons cachés" *


Belgium is reserved, it's better to look twice. Let's enter the beguinage in Diest, where women were able to lead an independent life as early as the 13th century. These residential communities are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

* means: "It's better to live unnoticed"

See and let it work

  • Look without prejudice
  • Form an opinion
  • Exchange ideas

You'll probably find waffles, chocolates and "French" fries without me. 
Together we discover more and gain new insights.

  • Tout le monde existe

    "J'existe" is omnipresent in the Brussels cityscape and appears in ever new places. Thierry Jaspart, a Belgian artist, is behind the simplest of all slogans >> https https://thierry-jaspart.com In a city with 10,000 homeless people, will the slogan have a comforting effect on the one under the red umbrella?
