Tervueren, Leopold II's green colony
#green #bruxelles #athletic
Following an old railway line, we will reach Tervueren. This small village on the edge of the city managed to keep a bucolic charm. But not without the barbaric import of colonial riches. This former World Expo site now houses the wonderful Royal Museum of Central Africa in the beautiful Palais des Colonies. After exploring the park and its surroundings, we will return to Brussels via the Bois des Capucins and its arboretum.

Brussels, melting pot

Our guide, an old-school Brussels “zinneke”, will take us through some of the neighbourhoods that most beautifully witness this diversity: Matongé, Châtelain, the Place St. Josse, Queen's Square, Tour & Taxis, the Gare du Midi... They will evoke not only the past history of the city (as a former colonial metropolis, land of immigrants), but also its current status as a melting pot of cultural diversity.
Several stops are planned along the way. These will allow you to also get a literal taste of the diversity of Brussels

Brusselse "Pockets Parks"
#green #bruxelles #easy
This bike tour starts at the foot of the Manhattan Centre towers, that testify to the city’s so-called “modernisation” during the 1960s. Our visit to Gaucheret Park will be followed by a visit to the Parc de la Senne, a new, ground-breaking project for a pedestrian/cycling road throughout Schaerbeek. Then we continue along the canal, visiting many so-called pocket parks (new, small urban green spaces). We will encounter some of the inhabitants that have appropriated these new patches of green. Whether they are vegetable gardens, picnic, play, or sport areas, official or citizens’ initiatives, they all breath fresh air into the city. Our visit ends at Parckfarm on the Tour & Taxis site, winner of the Parckdesign / Jardin Essentiel festival in 2014.
