Around Porte de Louvain, today known as Place Madou, can be seen some remains of a long-lost Saint-Josse. Who knew that these winding streets once were home to an artists’ colony that included many famous Belgian artists? Who knew that there were Art Nouveau designs in churches that have now become orthodox? Who knew there remain traces of the golden age of cinema? A good dose of history flavoured with a pinch of art history, lots of curiosity and eyes wide open! Come and join us for a beautiful summer walk!
