My wife planned to pass by this park during our walking day tour of Brussels. Without any…read moreexpectations, the first impression I got from this public garden was that of London's Hyde Park, which we had the pleasure of visiting a week before. It wasn't crowded on Saturday morning when we passed through. This was a soak it in moment upon seeing the serenity amid the bustling chaos during the wekeday. I marveled at the comical sculptures of Geluck's Le Chat (The Cat) as well as the older figures situated in the vicinity. Snapped a lot of photos is what I did.

Je vindt er langgrekte lanen met plantanen, waaronder je bij hevige zonneschijn aangenaam kunt verpozen. Vlakbij spuit het water vanuit verschillende fonteintjes uit de grond. In dit park staan ook verschillende originele meubels die onder meer als zitbank dienstdoen. Ze zijn het resultaat van een designwedstrijd voor straatmeubilair voor jonge kunstenaars (Parckdesign). In de toekomst zullen nog dergelijke concours volgen om jonge artiesten de kans te geven hun creaties voor te stellen. Tussen het groen vind je de mooiste banken en het is een perfect spot om bij mooi weer je boterhammen op te smullen...

Unfortunately it ended up being just that little too far, so instead we decided to head back, but it turned out that these was this awesome cathedral nearby, so we checked that out and then discovered this rather small garden on the other side of the road (near the tram stop). It is sort of one of those places that if you blink you basically miss it, and while it is small doesn't mean that it is any less impressive. Not only is the garden gorgeous, but also the fence, and the little statues atop it. A lovely little place to spend some time reflecting on the world and the things around you.
