Brève description / annotation

Far from clichés and well-trodden routes, Brussels reveals an extraordinary wealth of curiosities, hidden details and surprising stories. A city that continues to astonish both locals and visitors who thought they already knew it well. This book showcases a wide range of unusual places, from remarkable Art Nouveau façades and a reconstructed section of the Senne to a farm in the city centre, a Masonic reading of the Parc de Bruxelles, and Magritte's curious physiognomic fountain. It also highlights forgotten structures, panoramic pools, wartime tributes, underground explorations, vast kitchen gardens, artist studios and even a campsite in the heart of the city. The selection reveals Brussels as a city rich in imagination, layers and unexpected corners, written by and for those who enjoy looking beyond the obvious.
