The street is called Quai des Péniches. Every summer this place functions as the scene for Bruxelles – les – Bains: the street is covered with sand, there are all kinds of stands selling food and drinks and you can take part in a huge variety of activities.
But on that particular Sunday morning, nobody and nothing disturbed us on our morning walk. There are boats that function as a pub or even a theater and on the walls of nearby buildings, you can admire street art.
Maybe it misses the grandeur of the Thames or the romanticism of the Seine, but this is a charming place.
