Sunday by bike: Saint-Gilles Cemetery in Uccle

Autumn is setting in and All Saints' Day is approaching. For this last edition of the Sunday by bike season, Cactus takes you to discover one of the best-hidden treasures of the capital: the Cimetière de Saint-Gilles. And since we are in Brussels, this place nestled in the greenery is actually in… Uccle. Why is this ride unique? - Breathtaking scenery: Perched on the rolling hills of Uccle, the cemetery offers an unobstructed panoramic view of the Senne valley. It is the ideal place to take a break and admire the wild beauty of the Brussels landscape. - In the footsteps of Julien Dillens and illustrious names: The sculptor Julien Dillens, the man who enriched Brussels with so many public works, did not just find his final rest there. He left an indelible artistic mark there through remarkable funerary monuments. - The route: A relaxed bike ride, punctuated by the stories of our guide, which will take you along unsuspected paths, far from the classic routes of cars or trams.
