For more info about Grand Place, see received card #332.
Every two years in August, an enormous "flower carpet" is set up in the Grand Place for a few days. A million colourful begonias are set up in patterns, and the display covers a full 24 by 77 metres (79 by 253 ft), for area total of 1,800 square metres (19,000 sq ft). The first flower carpet was made in 1971, and due to its popularity, the tradition continued, with the flower carpet attracting a large number of tourists.
Thank you, Solange !

I bet the flower carpet is one of the best smelling carpets around! I would love to see that someday.
Yes ! I hope to visit it as well :)
