Programme
Walk / Early birds & Night owls
226 At the dawn of the city
[Nature] [Neighbourhoods]
This guided walk reveals Brussels landscapes in a rare and peaceful morning light. At daybreak, as the city slowly wakes up, the route leads through the gardens of La Cambre Abbey, Tenbosch Park and tree-lined streets to a green interior block. In a poetic and intimate atmosphere, it offers another way of looking at natural and built heritage: remarkable trees, layers of vegetation, architectural details such as sgraffiti and stained glass, and landscape continuities running through the streets. Small participatory moments encourage observation, exchange and a stronger connection with nature in the city. The experience ends with a convivial local breakfast in a lush private garden with a striking view of the belfry of Saint-Gilles Town Hall.
The walk will be led by Virginie Ullens, architect and landscape architect.
Dogs are not allowed, except assistance dogs.
