Woluw? Park. Chemin de fer - Ijzer laan
Norali Says: Whilst walking in the park, you will see this indication. It is not that clear when you enlarge it but it indicates "Chemin de fer - Ijzer laan", translatable as Iron lane/path" though it refers to "Rail road", or French "Chemin de fer" meaning "Rail road".The old rail road...
Woluwe park. Visit Parc de la Woluwe
Norali Says: Walking, cycling, skating through the park. It is just relaxing to see people of all ages go there. Youngsters lie in the grass, some with a book, others with music-box (though it seems to be forbidden). Newly parents go there with toddlers, teach to kids how to walk. Cute!...
Woluw? park. Chemin des amoureux & more
Norali Says: Do i need to translate?I saw there "Chemin des amoureux" as well. What stroke me was that this lane led me to an area where trees were (are) coupled. They just grew up interlaced. Chemin des amoureux is not of bitumen, rather one of those tiny dirty paths in the wood. If you...
Norali Says: You cannot miss the restaurant while you are in Av. du val d'or. With a yellow store, it can be seen from far.All yellow inside. A setting that preserves intimacy in a quiet corner.In winter, feasants and venery specialties.To have localisation, check...
Les Etangs de Mellaerts: Screaming kids who urinate in the garden!
brusselsbabe Says: Very nice food, lovely terrace which adjoins the garden with childrens play equipment. We went for lunch on a sunny sunday and there was a hoard of children running between the tables shrieking and hitting dustbin lids with sticks whilst their parents let them get on with...
Brasserie "Les Etangs Mellaerts": Romantic view on Etangs Mellaerts (ponds) !
Norali Says: Ambience is I like most there. Located near Parc de Woluwe and in the "banks" of Mellaerts pounds, it's a charming place I like to stay at on hot days, and in winter as well. You have the choice to take a seat in this kind of glass shed and enjoy the view of nearby ponds and...
Retromobilia: Should have been my best bet in the vicinity ...
Norali Says: Le train has passed out... It has changed name into Retromobilia. Same chef, same cuisine but different name. Also, a new feature, it is a kind of theme restaurant: the one dedicated to collectible cars and oldtimers. The chef and owner are members of a scuderia, hence the...
Norali Says: This is rather a means of transportation in WSP. I just appreciate seeing landscapes while having a ride on those trams.I sometimes take Tram39 till end station... just for fun, to see nice houses! Tram 44 till end station is even nicer. It carries you to Tervueren area,...
+++ several names +++: A one-stop shopping at Place Dumon
Norali Says: A nice place to shop in. Most of times, not that cheap.Head to Place Dumon and wander in those streets to buy women's clothes, men's clothes, Italian shoes, Burberry items, underwear, perfume and cosmetics... Food and drinks as well since supermarkets are around, including...
If only allowed to have one piece: their clafoutis
Norali Says: If I were asked to only have one piece to buy from Goosens, it would be their clafoutis. Their clafoutis was my latest discovery. Twice, I bought for a diner dessert a clafoutis. Heaven! The classical clafoutis and their version of it (theirs has several fruit bits in it)...
My very preferred pastry shop: Goossens
Norali Says: Aah! I will miss this once in Madagascar. I like pastry but don't buy very often. I can spend 6 months without a cake but when I decide to treat myself with a savourous slice, it is the place where I use to head to. More expensive than the average local pastry shop in my...
Norali Says: Like any dorm town, designed to please wealthy (and, very often, old.. not that I am old... and I am far from being rich) people, Woluw?-St-Pierre has some good bakeries.Their chef de file is the very own Pierre Marcolini, near Place Dumon (av Hinnisdael ). The first Pierre...
Woluwe Park. Don't feed the animals
Norali Says: While walking there, you'll spot on some trails information boards about the species, maps and also warnings. Most important is concerning the meadows.- Do not feed the birds- Do not let the dogs loose- Don't throw anything in the park nor in the ponds, there are bins...
It is an urban park, you know :-)
Norali Says: In summer, even your flip-flops are OK. On rainy days, I'd advise to wear walking shoes if you want to walk for hours, because of slippery mud on the dirty paths. Camera to shoot trees, landscape and close-ups of the squirrels, the swans... A good book is needed if you...
The leaning tree in Woluw?-Saint-Pierre park
Norali Says: This used (and still uses) to amaze me. The tree branch is broken, the tree is leaning but it still blossoms... Quite every time I walk in the park, I check whether it is lush or not... And it still is...You can find it in the meadows of Woluw? park, the ones that are close...
Playing tennis in Woluwé park.
Norali Says: The Woluwé park houses a tennis club. Nice open-air atmosphere in spring and summer for some games in the middle of trees. For me, one of the best tennis court location in Brussels.. on top of a small hill, in the midle of the woods, in a park. Tennis racket - usual wear...
Walk, cycle through Parc de Woluwé
Norali Says: Walking in this park, biking, skating. It is large enough to let you wander through a corner to another, marvel at trees (among them, a multicentenary sequoia), squirrel.. and all that for hours.People use to jog there, with or without a dog. Interesting to have a break near...
It is not a young area, after all
Norali Says: It took me a visit to another municipality - Anderlecht-, and to know that it had already existed since anno 1000 to see my interest rise in WSP history. The ancient name of the area "Wolewe" was first used circa 1117.How astonishing to imagine that, from some meadows...
Woluwé Park. A view from the Cornice
Norali Says: At top left, see the Woluwé-St-Pierre town hall spire...Something I appreciate there is that from the bench I sat on, I still saw cars passing by, in Av. de Tervuerenlaan...but the place at the cornice was just quiet. Off course, the deeper & further you enter th park, the...
Woluwé-Saint-Pierre is my hometown
Norali Says: and Brussels (Region) is my homecity, meaning I live in Greater Brussels.This is the view from my (small) terrace in summer. In winter, it's all grey... yes! grey trees, not grey concrete blocks. * My neighbours's female cat ... making noises like a baby crying :-)* Another...
