After our treasure hunt at the Jeu de Balle flea market we headed up past the Palais de Justice to the giant Ferris wheel known as "The View" which gives great views over the city.
Back down on terra firma we headed over to Mont des Arts / Kunstberg, to let Dennis and Angela view one of our favourite collection of facades which include the fabulous Musical Instrument Museum, it is housed in the former Old England department store, a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture
We made our way to the top of Mont des Arts and were rewarded with this magnificent view across the city.
The Carillon du Mont des Arts is a really nice surprise if you happen to be in the area when it is in action and we were! It is a huge star-faced clock you pass under as you make your way down to the old part of the city.
We ended the day relaxing with a beer before heading back to Anne & Denis', well I had another idea...more on this tomorrow.
