An American in Paris (and Brussels), Part II
Tue 23 Mar 2010 at 7:54 am ♥ Filed under Paris 2010, Travel
I woke up at a rather early-ish hour on Monday (March 15th) because I had the following train tickets at hand:
Outward journey: Paris Nord to Brussels Midi
Inbound journey: Brussels Midi to Paris Nord
Basically, I ended up taking advantage of the Eurostar and bought tickets for a day trip to Brussels! An hour and a half later, I was no longer in France. Purse in tow and camera in hand, I made my way out of Gare Midi and walked my way up Anspachlaan, the main road in downtown Brussels. Along the way, I came across Bourse/Beurs which is basically the stock exchange.
A lot prettier than the NYSE, if I do say so myself. And that was just the side view.
