Aside from the Sablon Antiques Market, which I showed you in my previous post, there's another street flea market in the Marolles neighborhood to the southwest. Every morning, this market at Place du Jeu de Balle sells everything from vintage clothing to quirky curiosities. In general, the prices here are lower than those in Sablon.
Sablon is known for its elegant architecture housing trendy cafés, restaurants, bars, fashion shops, and art galleries. Chanel, Gucci, and Hermès have boutiques here, alongside local designer stores and artisanal shops selling handcrafted items.
The Marolles neighborhood, on the other hand, is a more working-class area with a bohemian vibe. It is strewn with street art, including colorful murals and sculptures created by local artists. Its lively atmosphere and vibrant energy appealed to me. Its distinct charm makes it an intriguing and inspiring place to visit.
The Palais de Justice here was designed by Joseph Poelaert in the late 1800s. This massive law courts complex appears to have been under renovation for many years, as it was always covered in scaffolding whenever I passed by. You can take the free lifts from Marolles to the Palais de Justice for the gorgeous views from the top, especially at night.
The Grande Roue Bruxelles Ferris wheel, located on Place Poelaert next to the Palais de Justice, is another prominent structure in this neighborhood that provides an overview of the surroundings.
除了上一篇提到的萨布隆古董市场，在它西南方向相邻的Marolles区还有另一处跳蚤市场。每天早上，位于Place du Jeu de Balle这个广场的大市场上都熙熙攘攘，售卖古着古玩等各种旧货。
萨布隆区遍布时髦优雅的精品店、咖啡馆、餐馆、酒吧、和艺术画廊等店铺，也汇聚了些时尚大牌店比如香奈儿、古驰和爱马仕。相比之下，紧邻的Marolles区则更具波西米亚的散漫风格。到处都是街头艺术，包括当地艺术家创作的多彩壁画和雕塑。那种活力满满的氛围自有一番独特的魅力。
远远望过来就能看到庞大的正义宫，是约瑟夫·波拉尔特在19世纪晚期设计的，旁边的广场就以他来命名。就像神圣家族大教堂一样，这个法院建筑也是常年包裹着脚手架。可以搭乘破破的电梯从Marolles上到正义宫，登高望远。
还有波拉尔特广场上的布鲁塞尔摩天轮，也是这块地区的一个醒目建筑，坐在里面同样可以俯瞰周边独具比利时特色的杂糅景观。
