The Quietest Day Before the Flower Carpet

On his last full day in Brussels before heading south, Lucas takes the quiet August city at walking pace: a slow coffee morning, the Cinquantenaire's empty galleries, a stoofvlees lunch, and a final evening ride on the Foire du Midi's Ferris wheel as the city gears up for the Flower Carpet. ☕ Enjoying the show?
