Yesterday (Thursday)we trekked to the Royal museum complex and Mont des Arts area. Where our neighborhood, Saint-Gilles, can be described as “vibrant bohemian”, the Royal museums quarter was filled with tourists and school groups. A whole different flavor of Brussels.
I enjoyed rediscovering Magritte at the Magritte museum. I had forgotten his light-hearted and playful spirit. Grubb has already posted some photos from the museum and I’ve mentioned our moules-frites lunch in a place just off the well beaten Royal path. Although I didn’t fess up to having stopped at a chocolate shop for a few bites of after-lunch taste treats. But I’ll save the chocolate report for after I’ve had a larger array of samples.
Here are some photos taken on our route and in the thick of the Mont des arts area.
