The art of negotiation


Such wonderful photo opportunities on a grey day. Can't wait to return. 
"The Jeu de Balle Flea Market is a sociological representations of the area. It gathers antique lovers, collectors, occasional visitors and people who are simply headed out for a stroll. Here you can find almost everything and anything you’ve ever wanted in a lively and entertaining atmosphereThe market is composed of dealers selling pieces strewn out on blankets and sheets or off the back of their trucks and cars. There are also stands crammed with objects, from antique porcelain and pictures to 19th-century crossbows and tiny tin objects made from the 20th century, parchment, fabric, vintage clothes, etc. Most of these stands offer a variety of different objects, but here and there you can find sellers dedicated to only one specific kind of treasure".  and more :https://theculturetrip.com/europe/belgium/articles/the-complete-guide-to-the-jeu-de-balle-flea-market-in-brussels/

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"
