Brussels, Belgium

Recycling isn't just for plastic bottles. Buildings are recycled, too. This one is a converted guild house on Brussels' central market (called the Grand Place or Grote Markt, depending on which side of the language divide you find yourself). In 1852, Victor Hugo lived here; today it is a place to buy something for which Brussels is famous, lace. [1984]
