This itinerary invites you to a unique guided walk to (re)discover the Art Nouveau façades and their creators. The multiple sources of inspiration and the aspiration to create singular works led the creators of that time to compose an incredible variety of creations. There are so many sgraffito decorations to admire on our streets. But how is sgraffito made? Where does it come from? And who made those beautiful designs? Learn about the fascinating history of La Belle Époque and its buildings together with a guide of the Cauchie House.

MEETING POINT: at the corner of Avenue de la Jonction and Avenue Brugmann, 1060 Saint-Gilles (in front of La Maison Hannon - guided tour of Maison Hannon not included)
