Urban snaps: Peinture Fraîche

Another edition of urban snaps – we share a collection of photos that were posted by our Instagram community and this time we choose Peinture Fraîche, a picturesque bookstore in Brussels. There is something magical about books, be it on rainy days (with fluffy blankets and a hot cup) or simply enjoying a good read outside, be it the public bench or sandy beach.

This bookstore is located in Rue du Tabellion, Notarisstraat 10 (1050 Ixelles) and offers a wide range of art books and special editions, a paradise for any book lover. Enjoy these beautiful photos and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more urban inspirations 🙂
