This week-end is heritage days. So early this morning I went to see some of it. This year: Industrie.
First visite called: glaciere. Today an administrative building
But under it a huge storage where they used to store ice, before fridges exist
And also hang meet because of course it was cold
This room was full of ice!
Then direction a former coffee factory, now some offices and apartments. Could just see the outside...
This is a former wine factory
With some art nouveau style
This was the factory with the offices of the bosses watching the employees
Yeah free wine distribution, or not....
I love this style, a bit like Eiffel
Small break to have a salmon bagel and some limonade, outside between 2 showers :-)
Back to the wine building, still nothing to drink...
And then direction a former Waucquer textile factory
with it's art nouveau counter
and impressive lift
This is where they used to cut the textiles
and the catalog of what they offered
Today this is national archives of Brussels
Not so convenient for paper...
Beautiful stairs
And old pair of scissors
All that I have seen was always with free tour
Statue outside
And tomorrow day 2!
