It was first of all the construction of the first Brussels station bound for the south on the site of the current Place Rouppe and the tracks on the site of the current avenue de Stalingrad (hence its extraordinary width) then the vaulting of the Senne and the construction of boulevard Lemonnier and places Fontainas and Anneessens included in the development in Haussmannian style from the main boulevards of the center. Nowadays, many retail outlets are located along Boulevard Lemonnier, Avenue de Stalingrad and Rue du Midi. Place Rouppe, meanwhile, hosts theHoreca (including the restaurant Like home) where, in summer, it is good to sip a drink on a terrace.
