the Marolles district is a district of Pentagon which, itself, is the central district of the city of brussels.
Understand
If you want to immerse yourself in the “Brussels spirit”, this is the district that you absolutely must visit. Here, we still speak Marollien, also called brusseleer, (a mixture of Brabant, French and Walloon dialect); Moreover, all the street signs are not only bilingual French-Dutch as everywhere in the Brussels Region, but also in their former name in Marollien. Stroll on the flea market of the Place du Jeu de Balle or take a pot ("Have a drink") in a caberdouche ("Drink outlet", "coffee") is something tasty. You will not fail to meet there babbeleirs ("Talkative") and zwanzeurs (“Joke-tellers”) typical of this “Brussels spirit”. In Brussels, and more particularly in Les Marolles, if you are told "Yes, surely!" ", It means" No! "And if someone answers you" No maybe! ", It means" Yes! ". And for those who don't want to be the naive victim of zwanzes ("Jokes", "jokes"), it would be good to consult the lexicon of Brussels terms: Anecdotal Brussels
For comic book lovers, the Marolles offer eight of the wall frescoes of the "Brussels comic strip trail », The oldest of which dates from 1992. Made by artists from theasbl "Wall art" according to original drawings by the various authors of Comics, they are all visible by car but it is preferable to be by bike or on foot to be able to admire them at ease and in detail.

Toponymy
The Marolles district owes its name to the congregation of Apostoline sisters known as the mariculture sisters (contraction of the Latin term of Mariam Colentes) who settled in 1664 rue de Montserrat, formerly rue des Marolles, and who came to the aid of prostitutes in the neighborhood. This expression will be successively deformed into "Maricolles", then into "Marolles". The rue Haute and the part between the latter and the rue des Minimes, being the historic start of the district, are also called "La Marolle".
Story
At XIIIe century, the future Marolles were only a district of weavers settled, along the stream of Smaelbeek, betweenNotre-Dame de la Chapelle church (then known as Capella Beatae Mariae extra muros oppidi Bruxellensis sita (“Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary located outside the city walls of Brussels”)) and the Steenpport, one of the seven gates of the first wall of Brussels.
After the completion of the second wall of Brussels in 1383, the rue Haute, which is the backbone of the district and which connects the old Steenpport to the new Hal gate, begins to urbanize. It is mainly occupied by weavers and fullers. In 1405, a fire devastated the surroundings of the Notre-Dame de la Chapelle church and destroyed 2,400 homes and 1,400 looms.
At the end of XVIe century, the rue des Minimes, called at the time Bovendael, being largely occupied by machoufelkes (“Prostitutes” in Marollian), it was decided to install “counters” closed at night between this road and rue Haute in order to prevent these prostitutes from accessing it.
The events that marked the life of the neighborhood were not always calm. the , the patricians of Brussels, having heard of a plot hatched by the fullers and the weavers of the Chapel district, supported by the butchers to exterminate them, took up arms. They first slaughtered the butchers who lived in the city and then turned against the weavers and fullers who were trying to set fire to the Steenpoort in order to be able to enter the city. The patricians first went to set fire to their houses, then, taking them from the rear, killed a great number of them. the , to protest against the high cost of living, the Marollians ransacked the Brussels courthouse the very day of its inauguration. the , the Marolliens take to the streets against the project to build an extension of the courthouse threatening the destruction of part of the neighborhood and, at the corner of rue de Montserrat and rue de la Prévoyance, hold a conference press in the middle of the street known as the “Battle of the Marolle”; this action will put a definitive end to the project.
Two criminal cases in the neighborhood also hit the national headlines. In 1897, theCourtois affair named after one of the two assassins, Alexandre Courtois who is none other than a former police commissioner of the Marolles district and, in 2007, theStorme case named Léopold Storme, found guilty of having murdered his two parents and his sister in their house in the rue des Capucins.
The physiognomy of the Marolles, due to the occupants, has also changed considerably over the centuries. From the Middle Ages when it was, besides mainly rural, inhabited by artisans engaged in the tanning of skins, "left behind" and brigands of all stripes, the XVIIe and the XVIIIe century, sees there the installation of the Brussels bourgeoisie who built beautiful mansions there. The establishment of the industrial revolution in Belgium at the end of the XVIIIe century, sees the emergence of industrial structures, such as the roaster Jacquemotte Cafes, and the arrival of new occupants from the Deep Flanders and of Wallonia. The latter will, moreover, profoundly influence and modify the local language, previously called Bargoensch, to make it the Marollien we know today. Finally, the XXe century sees a last transformation with the "sandblasting" which is a movement pushing the Sablons district to extend towards the Marolles and to modify the image and the atmosphere by gentrification and the resumption of each caberdouche ("Estaminet") which is closed by an antique dealer.
