Carless + Patrimony Day in Brussels

This day was a special day in Brussels. Once again, no cars were allowed to enter the city, making all streets, boulevards, lanes, … free for bikers, skaters, rollerbladers and walkers! And once again, it was the most dangerous day of the year to do bicycle in Brussels! No one cares about red lights, trams, other bicycles, or busses!!! Total anarchy on the streets!!!

Aside of this “carless” day, the Patrimony days took place the whole week-end, during which you can visit some old and fabulous monuments. This year, a lot of schools and swimming pools were made available to the public.

Personnally, I visited an old guild of crossbowmen: “Le Grand Serment royal et de Saint-Georges des Arbalétriers de Bruxelles”. It exists since 1381, and these people still train shooting with a crossbow:

The shooting range, and the shooter.
