Not just a flea market

The photo ops at the Brussels' flea market are proportional to the exposed ware.  Accompanied by the winter (yes it is still winter, in astronomical terms) sun of the past few days, I would love to be able to  visit every day. As you can see, it is possible to even get in a portion of daily exercise.....I recommend a visit to everyone, locals, tourists, photographers etc. Put it on your to do while in Brussels list! 
"....the flea market on place du Jeu de Balle is more than just a flea market, it's an atmosphere" 
Flea market, antiques, collections,... in a very typical and friendly atmosphere in Brussels, 365 days a year!
Regulars say that the best days to go are Thursday and Friday. However, on Saturdays and Sundays you might find more specific or rare pieces that are only available at the weekend"

  4. Looks like lots of treasures here. I'd surely find something that I wanted but it wouldn't fit in my suitcase.

  8. Hallo Anni,
    De "vieux marché" evolueert met de nieuwe klanten, maar heeft veel aan echtheid moeten prijs geven sedert mijn echtgenote's grootmoeder de "doyenne du vieux marché' was...
