Description
Dogs, cats, horses, but also toads, falcons, and lions! From public enemies to prestigious domestic companions, Brussels’ four-legged residents have played many roles and earned varied reputations over the centuries.

Of their past omnipresence at the heart of urban life, numerous traces still remain today on façades and monuments, whether historical or legendary. Now, increased protection of species and their habitats has opened a new chapter, discreetly revealing a new kind of wildlife—sometimes in the most unexpected places. Should we always separate the urban environment from the wild?

Through a tour suitable for all ages, we invite you to discover a parallel history of Brussels, inseparable from that of its inhabitants.
