One of our favourite visits when in Brussels is to the large flea market at Place du Jeu-de-Balle in the Marolles neighbourhood of the city. Our hosts Anne and Denis introduced us to it on our first visit and now it has become one of our go to places in the city.
They have had a lot of success over the years searching for and finding undiscovered treasures. With hundreds of stalls (and piles) to rummage through our local 'treasure' hunters here in Touraine would be in brocante heaven here.
The great local knowledge of Anne and Denis meant that the walk to and from the market along the streets of Rue Haute and Rue Blaes was a feast of window shopping as they are full of of antique dealers, fabric shops and second-hand dealers.
Anne and Pauline in anticipation of the treasure hunt.
