Recordist's notes

The Brussels Grand-Place (french) Grote Markt (dutch). It's the central place of Brussels, completely covered with cobblestones. Very beautiful gothic houses and the main town hall. During this period, very much Spanish and Chinese tourists. An old woman, beggar. Photos, discussions, wind, touristic ambiance.

Written by Vincent Duseigne on radio aporee ::: maps.
