Its straight paths, its statues, its pools and its shaded lawns make it an elegant and prized place of promenade. The park was also the scene of notable episodes of Belgian history, notably during the revolution of 1830. Today peaceful, it offers a pleasant green breathing space in the centre of the capital.
