Join us on Sunday, 8 February 2026 for a relaxed Photoresk photo walk through the Marolles, Brussels’ most characterful quarter. We’ll meet at 11:15 at Place du Jeu de Balle, explore lesser‑known corners and textures, then visit at least one exhibition linked to the PhotoBrussels Festival. We’ll wrap with lunch in the Marolles (vegetarian option available), with Matonge as a backup lunch zone.
Plan
- 11:15 Meet at Place du Jeu de Balle – entrance of the church Maria Immaculata.
- Hidden‑gems walk: flea market, Rue Haute/Rue Blaes, murals and courtyards.
- Exhibition: one PhotoBrussels Festival venue
- Lunch: Marolles bistro/café; one vegetarian option guaranteed.
- Public transport only; short, frequent hops; mostly walking.
Who’s coming
- Brussels locals and members traveling from Heerlen (NL), Cologne, Luxembourg, Malmö (by plane), and elsewhere (primarily by train). Aim to arrive Brussels‑Central 10:30–10:45.
What to bring
- Compact kit, comfortable shoes with grip, rain/wind shell, and a sense of curiosity for “hidden gems.” Non‑flash museum etiquette.
Accessibility
- Step‑free via the Marolles glass elevator; broad pavements on Rue Haute. If the elevator is out, we’ll use a metro link.
Weather plan
- We’ll adapt for rain/wind/cold with covered routes and indoor photo options (churches, galleries, arcades). Final go/modify/pivot posted on the morning.
RSVP
- Please RSVP early and update if your plans change. If you have dietary/access needs, tell us by Friday so we can coordinate lunch and access with venues.
Notes
- PhotoBrussels Festival Sunday hours differ by venue; we will verify week‑of. Place du Jeu de Balle flea market is active mornings (ends ~14:00). Many shops in the Marolles have variable Sunday opening; we’ll treat browsing as a bonus.
