Look no wires! A model of how to build a new tram system in a World Heritage Site city: accessible, reliable and beautiful. At this key historic location, the tram stop is marked only by a slightly raised platform, four stone benches and two litter bins, all aligned symmetrically with the axis of the Place de la Bourse - there is no extraneous clutter here, not even ticket machines!
Architects: Brochet Lajus Pueyo.
Designers: Lanoire & Courrian, Absolut Design.
Landscape designers: Group Signes.
Station and furniture design: Elizabeth de Portzamparc.
Extensive user consultation took place during the planning stage. An underground third rail powers the tram through the historic core of the city and overhead wires are used elsewhere. Planning and design began in 1997. The first phase of two lines, through the city centre, was constructed 2003-2005 for a cost of €686m, and a further line opened in 2009 at a cost of €598.

Just a short walk away from the Grand Place. Well positioned screens for the sports, decent food and Tatyo Cheese and Onion for the terminally homesick. There's a terrace and a balcony that seem to be popular when the sun is shining.
Guinness, Kilkenny and Carlsberg are all available. Normally, I'd go for Grimbergen or Leffe while I'm in France or Belgium, but O'Reilly's offer Ramme as their Abbey beer instead. (I also enjoyed the Irish Coffee very much).
This is the pub website. It's only when I got home, and looked it up, that I realised it was a chain pub. I'm pretty sure I've also been in the Amsterdam branch.
maybe because I live in a country that's reasonably clean and tidy, I was quite taken aback by the whirlwind of plastic bags, greasy papers and general detritus swirling around Place de la Bourse. Yet there are plenty of bins and the municipal sweepers were out in force.
The building that houses the Brussels Stock Exchange does not have a distinct name, though it is usually called simply the Bourse. It is located on Boulevard Anspach, and is the namesake of the Beursplein/Place de la Bourse, which is, after the Grand Place, the second most important square in Brussels.

"La fontaine des "filles de Zeus" Aglaé, Euphrosyne et Thalie est une œuvre dessinée par Visconti et réalisée par Gumery et Jouandot. Pour mémoire, dans un registre bien différent, Louis Visconti est l'architecte qui a construit aux Invalides à Paris le tombeau de l'empereur Napoléon."

Though best known as an ancient wine region, Bordeaux France is also a highly-livable city full of splendid 18th century architecture. Here, the trade centre, Place de la Bourse reflects in a splendid reflecting pool between the building and the Gironde river, which bisects the city.
At 130 meter long X 42 meter wide, this set of granite slabs forms the largest reflecting pool in the world. The pond's water cycles from almost dry (looking like a huge slate), then it produces plumes of mist that turn the quay in a fairyland, finally the fog yields to crystal clear water that perfectly reflects "Place de la Bourse", as seen here. Glorious ! @travellingeye
