Léopold<br />

& Sablon<br />

”C’était au temps où Bruxelles rêvait…<br />

C’était au temps où Bruxelles bruxellait.“ * - J. Brel<br />

Historic luminaires of the City of Brussels, Léopold and Sablon bear witness to the period of the grands<br />

travaux (major works), carried out in the 19th century by King Leopold II. This king, nicknamed “The Builder<br />

King” was responsible for transforming the City of Brussels into an international renowned capital. Lighting<br />

rue Ducale, rue Lambermont, in the area of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart (Léopold version) or rue au<br />

Beure, rue Royale, close to the Grand Place and around Brussels Park (Sablon version), these luminaires are<br />

found in Brussels symbolic places.<br />

* Those were the days when Brussels used to dream…<br />

Those were the days when Brussels was truly the Brussels of tradition.<br />
