LA BOURSE - OR - DE BEURS

- or the Brussels Stock Exchange with the tower of the Hôtel de Ville in the background.

As you can see - the Christmas market has been reinstated & on a less drizzly day thousands of punters will be tucking into iffy sauerkraut  & slopping down plastic beakers of highly dodgy mulled wine...

Actually, it's not all that bad - I'll have a wander round on Monday afternoon & probably get a few "stocking fillers" while the punters are at low tide.

Happily the city centre is now squaddie-free :o)
