For several years now, the merchants of the Dansaert district (which stretches from the Bourse to the canal and from the Place du Marché aux Fleures to the Marché aux Poissons) have been joining forces to invite visitors to come and enjoy the exclusive shops, creative boutiques / studios, trendy restaurants and cozy cafes.
Successful campaigns such as Dansaert Winter Windows, DanseArt Brut and Dansaert Dreams, show that the district knows how to present itself in an original way, that the link with contemporary art forms is unmistakable and that the future is looked to with confidence. During the summer of 2022, the streets of the Dansaert district will be partying
every first Sunday of the month to give existing and new customers the opportunity to enjoy a quiet Sunday in this exciting neighborhood that manages to reinvent itself time and again.
