Do you expect from every trip a small miracle? Walk down the Petite Rue des Bouchers in Brussels and follow the Schuddeveldegang until you find yourself in a dark cosy little pub.
As you start sipping your Kwak, the gods of travel will start their magic. A barrel organ will be playing, and six puppeteers will entertain you with Three Musketeers, Cyrano de Bergerac or traditional Belgian mystery plays. Eric Satie was among the fans.
Come to Brussels to discover the tiny Théâtre Royal de Toone, a family-run marionette theatre that has continued its tradition since the early 19th century.
