"Place Sablon", BRUSSELS

Pictures taken at Place Sablon or Zavelplein (Square Sablon) in the heart of Brussels. One part of the pictures is taken on June 30th, 2003 and the other part on July 13th, 2003. Place Sablon is known for its great cafés and restaurants as well for its art shops and antique stores. Moreover it is surrounded by great, historic buildings and has managed to preserve its charm, except from the huge car parking place in the middle of the square.

Wonderful Albums from Brussels...
Hi Kostas, I've seen all the albums from Brussels (and new V.U.B.) now, congratulations of the great job you've done. Your taken images are very nice and by looking to them I remembered all the pleasant moments I had there (Brussels in 1971 !). Actually you have done everything I wanted to do, walking around and taking all the time you needed to see the place not as an ordinary tourist... Sometimes in the future I must return to Brussels... Regards, Rafal.
