Walk your city (fully booked)

Departing from La Fonderie, ‘Walk your city’ is a special version of our classic tour of the Fonderie (foundry) neighbourhood, taking you back to the days when Brussels was the second most industrialised city, after Manchester in the UK. Today, we’re turning it into an unusual walk that incorporates visual, audio and imaginary testimonies as we survey, observe and listen to the squares, streets, buildings and people around us. Along the way, walkers will be encouraged to identify traces of the district’s historical, sociological and economic development, and to imagine, map and glean a multitude of little insights and impressions.
