Binche, rue de la Gaieté (Joy Street) At the center of Binche, la rue de la Gaieté is like a link to the Grand Place, the vibrant heart of carnival days when oranges and confetti fly. La rue de la Gaieté is a pedestrian street the size of one or two stretched-out Gilles, no more. No cars, just gleaming cobblestones; it looks like a timeless street. And behind the traditional reports on the Binche Carnival, there are Binchois who have so many personal stories to tell. So, for the time of a "My Street," let's set aside this feeling of "already seen" from the Carnival to see with fresh eyes the incredible array of colors in the hearts of its inhabitants? Joy Street is an extraordinary street, just like all the other streets.

Ixelles... To go from the commercial Chaussée d'Ixelles to the bustling Matonge, there's a direct route: Rue de la Paix. Moving from one universe to another is like going from gray to color, encountering a whole palette of characters and stories. It's a thoroughfare street, with its own rhythms and moods. In the morning, it becomes a corridor for hurried Eurocrats; at lunchtime, it's a stopping point for a meal in Saint-Boniface, which, on occasion, takes on a little air of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. At night, a colorful crowd invades it until morning. Everyone passes through, ignoring the existence of residents, shopkeepers, and customers, all of whom have stories from their lives that are as true as they are fascinating to tell. Rue de la Paix is an extraordinary street, just like all the other streets...

Liège... Is this street even real? A church, "Sainte-Marie des Anges," built in the 19th century on the very spot of a brothel called "Le Paradis Terrestre"... it goes to show that Rue Paradis has always been dedicated to eclecticism. Even today, it plays with metaphors: a tax office building like a sword that cuts, a train station like a ship sounding the departure... And what about the people who frequent it, teaching us the true nature of life: a mixture of dream, fantasy, and reality. Rue Paradis is an extraordinary street, just like all the other streets!
