Life as it is: The Marolles

"Either it's a disaster or it's a celebration." There is always something to do in the Marolles. But the working-class neighborhood in Brussels is also at a tipping point: working-class Marolliens are disappearing, a wealthier public and immigrants are taking their place. For a long time, the Marolles were considered a terminal where people ended up after a life full of misery. But in recent years the neighborhood has changed: the original Marolliens are losing to the new residents. The antique dealers and trendy restaurants of the Sablon are on the move, rents are rising rapidly.
