On Tuesday morning, I got up at 6 to take a long walk around the inner ring
before I had to be at my meeting at 8:30.
It was a lovely day, and for once I was not staying in the EU quarter but in a
hotel next to the Rogier metro station. So I explored the area just north of

A bit of nostalgia; I used to take my son to this restaurant for traditional

And now he is your Grand Chou!

preceding picture:

Did I ever mention that I love Brussels?
Hardly ever - this week. ;-)
