Les Marolles — The Flea Market, Palais de Justice & Working-Class Brussels
Les Marolles (the historic working-class neighbourhood south of the Grand-Place, below the Palais de Justice — the most authentically Brussels neighbourhood remaining in the city centre, with its distinctive Bruxellois dialect (Brusseleer, a mix of French and Dutch with archaic elements), its neighbourhood bars, its artisan workshops, and its extraordinary daily flea market (the Vieux Marché/Rommelmarkt on Place du Jeu de Balle)): the Marolles neighbourhood survived the 19th-century demolitions that cleared most of the historic lower city (to build the large law courts) and preserves something of the flavour of pre-modern Brussels.
