Brussels Comic Tour
Description
We'll start this comic tour of Brussels by meeting at the indicated time on Rue du Marché au Charbon. Firstly, we'll go to a shop specializing in Ninth Art, where we'll introduce you to the fascinating world of Belgian comics.
We'll then take a stroll through the Belgian capital to see several murals dedicated to the world of comics. We'll discover who the artists of these paintings are, how they relate to each other, and which are the main schools of Franco-Belgian comics, where the so-called "clear line" stands out. Not only that, we'll also find out which was the first mural dedicated to comics in Brussels!
The next stop will be in front of the house that inspired Hergé to create the setting for Tintin's home, which is located very close to the market where he would find the famous ‘unicorn’ described in one of the comics. After several more murals, we'll pass through ‘Les Marolles’, known as the authentic and popular district of Brussels, where we'll see murals of other Hergé characters, Peyó, the creator of The Smurfs, and many more.
Finally, after a 2.5-hour tour, we'll finish the activity at the Place du Jeu de Balle, the same square where Tintin begins one of his great adventures, made into a film by Spielberg. Maybe this is the beginning of your great adventure?
