Brussels: Belle Époque and Art Nouveau

WHAT WILL YOU DISCOVER? We take you back more than 120 years, to a neighborhood that was a privileged witness to the Belle Époque in many respects… With particular attention to the Art Nouveau movement, we retrace with you the major stages of this urban transformation to better understand this era, but also the more current urban issues in a neighborhood that has not stopped its transformation since the Belle Époque, far from it! During this walk, you will discover: – The personal house of Paul Cauchie – The Cinquantenaire Palace and Park – The City Builders by Van der Stappen – The monument “in memory of the Belgians who died for the colonial work”, by Thomas Vinçotte – The Pavilion of Passions Humaines (V Horta) – The house of the architect Edouard Ramakers – A sculptural composition by Jacques de Lalaing which presents Allegories of the three ages of humanity. – The famous Maison Saint-Cyr by Gustave Streuven.
