The Marolles neighbourhood
The Marolles is a popular neighbourhood where the ‘Vieux Marché’ (market) is held every morning in ‘Jeu de Balle’ square.
Immerse yourself in this highly cosmopolitan
neighbourhood in our capital, which is also a hub for tourists and a melting pot, bringing together all the different cultures and populations from Brussels.
But the Marolles neighbourhood is, above all, the historical centre of commerce in Brussels, with some 200 brand names and shops (vintage, furniture, antiques, clothes etc.), and a rather particular village-style, relaxed feel to it that has recently begun to attract high-end food shops.
