Desc: Bains Publics: Directed by Kita Bauchet. Les Marolles, a working class district in central Brussels, just a stone's throw from the flea market. Built in 1949, inaugurated in 1953, the Baths continue to offer two swimming pools and public showers. A fabulous melting-pot, locals come to recharge their batteries, train, chat, find a sense of peace.
