Downtown Brussels is going through a major renovation. The main boulevards that link Rogier Square, near Gare du Nord, to the area close to the Midi Station will become pedestrian areas, with coffee shops, terrasses and trees. Part of the works are not completed and the streets have gained a new dynamism.
One of the key streets in this sector of town is Rue du Midi -- it's the first picture I show in the this post -- that runs from the Bourse Palace towards the South. It has some very picturesque shops, such as La Maison du Miel, a small boutique with all kinds of honey and a true city landmark, collectors' stamps shops, a major sportswear house, sweets and more, as the one shown below, and my preferred cheese shop, Catherine. The cheeses are not cheap, as you can see from the window, but they are of great variety and high quality. I love cheese and this is like a sacred place for me.
Sweets! And more sweets!
