The excursion

As you stroll through the dark alleys of the historic centre, the guide tells you about some of the criminal cases that left their mark on Brussels in the 19th and 20th centuries. You go back into the history of the city and learn more about the people of Brussels, the police and, above all, the society and customs of the periods in which these crimes took place. Crimes of honour, revenge, crimes of passion or villainy: a shivering, gloomy, sometimes bloody walk, always respectful of the protagonists and scrupulously faithful to the facts.
A storytelling walk through the dark alleys of the historic centre, reliving the criminal cases that marked Brussels in the 19th and 20th centuries.
