These two districts are a real gold mine for art lovers, collectors or bargain hunters. The antique and modern art galleries of the Sablon constitute a chic museum in themselves, where (almost) everyone can chance on that rare pearl. A constant whirl of activity, the popular Rue Haute and Rue Blaes are thronged with the most unexpected bric-a-brac and decoration shops, carefully interspersed with typical and welcoming cafés and restaurants. The 'zwanze' is a must: once you've heard an absurd, incredible or surreal story told in the good old brusseleer accent, you'll have reached the roots of the Marolles. All of this local tradition is further enhanced by the fantastic bric-a-brac: the flea market that's held every morning on Place du Jeu de Balle!
