Belgium's biggest funfair fills the Boulevard du Midi for five weeks each summer. The food stands open at 11:00, hours before the rides, selling croustillons, cotton candy and fairground snacks.
Editor's tip. Food stands open at 11:00 and the rides only from 15:00, so lunch is the calm hour to eat.
