 Vielle Bourse by sue_stone
It is located in Place du General de Gaulle, and has been restored to its original Flemish Renaissance beauty.
It is actually made up of 24 individual houses, which surround a cloistered courtyard. Each house is slightly different due to interesting and ornate mouldings on the outer walls.
At certain times of the week the courtyard is open to the public. When we were there on a Sunday, there was a book market, with plenty of locals browsing for a hidden treasure. Leave a Comment Directions: Nearest Metro: Rihour

 The courtyard of the Bourse by nhcram
When we visited there were many book stalls in the central courtyard and it was a very peaceful place to be. The building was so colourful too. Leave a Comment

La Vieille Bourse
Without protests the monument the most known city, to leaves maybe the belfry.
Constructs by the architect J. Destrée in 1652 for the city merchants (envies Flemish cities Ypres Ghent, Antwerp or Amsterdam?) One did here of the trade up to 1920.
In 1989 one starts a restoration that will last not less than 8 years.
The square is formed by 24 houses to the richly decorated facades of mythological and other motives in relief.
The course surround by arcades to the exuberant decoration, the marble plates to the walls represent a homage to the inventors, scholars, ... Some symbols recall what occupied them. Fascinating!

Sans conteste le monument le plus connu de la ville , à part peut-être le beffroi.
Construit par l'architecte J. Destrée en 1652 pour les commerçants de la ville ( jalous des villes Flamandes Ypres Gand, Anvers ou Amsterdam ?) On fit ici du négoce jusqu'en 1920.
En 1989 on entame une restauration qui durera pas moins de 8 années.
Le carré est formé par 24 maisons aux façades richement décorées de motifs mythologiques et autres en relief.
La cour entourée d'arcades à la décoration exubérante, les plaques de marbres aux murs représentent un hommage aux inventeurs, savants,... Quelques symboles rappellent ce qui les occupait . Fascinant !
