Under normal circumstances I would have written a post about Saint Nicolas. But today is a not the usual December 6 festive day in our family. My husband's mother passed away, and we are saying goodbye to her today. She was an extraordinary and incredible lady, beautiful and very special. She loved all aspects of life, and Belgian chocolates were one of her many very favorite things.
Here are two window displays of Belgian Marcolini chocolates, one in rue Scribe in Paris, the other on Brussels' Sablon Square.

A while ago, after visiting a photography exhibition in downtown Brussels with a friend, we could not help but notice the beer cans nicely lined up on Pierre Marcolini's window sill and its consumer, a man wearing a hat in the Belgian colors. I believe that at first he was not too thrilled to have his picture taken but when I explained what I had in mind, to publish the photo on This is Belgium, he was all smiles. The terrace of the café across the street was loaded with people enjoying a refreshing Belgian beer... and the unexpected interaction going on in front of them.
