Favorite urban spot
Two cities influence me a lot: Bordeaux and Brussels. They are very different but links can be found. Indeed, "Saint Pierre neighbourhood" with its many small places, old buildings, small streets, terraces with cobblestones, reminds of Place de Jeu de Balle and Place Saint Géry in Brussels. In the evenings, I enjoy having a drink, walking, or making the place to Art like Domini Public of Roger Bernat in Brussels or attend concerts plannned for the wine festival in Bordeaux.. This makes these two cities amazing to me...
