The city of Brussels will be organising the third edition of BXL TOUR, a cycle race through the streets of the capital. Since 2017, this event has been a can’t-miss in the diaries of several thousand cyclists who meet up every year, eager to take up the challenge with brio, sending out a clear message that Brussels City Council encourages the use of this gentle form of transport. The BXL TOUR 2019 looks set to be a very special one! Not only will it retrace part of the same circuit as the Tour de France race against the clock, it will also host the Belgian Master Championship! With only a few days to go to the Grand Départ, the BXL TOUR will pass through several suburbs of Brussels, giving participants a chance to explore or rediscover our magnificent capital. As befits tradition, after effort comes comfort at BIKECITY, which will welcome racers, inhabitants of Brussels and other visitors wishing to share this friendly moment: there will be a host of activities geared around cycling, with music and festive performances, all in a relaxed atmosphere!
Place des Palais
Place des Palais 1000 Bruxelles 1000
Même si l'endroit n'était pas initialement destiné à ce genre de manifestations, la place des Palais est également devenue un lieu festif. Elle accueille notamment des concerts lors de la Fête de la Communauté française de Belgique, de la Fête de l'iris ou encore de la Fête de la musique. À cette occasion, un numéro de l'émission Taratata présenté par Nagui le 21 juin 2011 déplaça plus de 50 000 personnes. En été, la place est animée par le Brussels Summer Festival. En 2010, le peloton du Tour de France quitta la Place des Palais pour 10 km de défilé à travers Bruxelles.
