A. de Ville de Goyet © urban.brussels

Dating back to 1905, Avenue Louis Bertrand/Louis Bertrandlaan links Chaussée de Haecht/Haachtsesteenweg with Parc Josaphat/Josaphatpark. It ranks alongside Avenue Louise/Louizalaan and Avenue de Tervueren/Tervurenlaan as one of the most attractive thoroughfares in Brussels. Façade competitions encouraged many architects to design extremely elegant houses adorned with a plethora of decorative features, including sgraffiti, ironwork, ceramics, turrets and balconies.

Join us on this special tour for a targeted look at Art Nouveau architecture.

In cooperation with Itinéraires, sur les Sentiers de l'Histoire.
