Belgium

I lived in Brussels from 1982-88. In June 2005 Catherine was offered a post in European School 3 in South-East Brussels, which she accepted, so in July 2005 we made a reconnaissance visit - I was surprised how much I had forgotten in the 17 years I had been away. During that week-long stay we were able to find a villa that we liked, and signed a nine year lease. We lived in Brussels from 2005 to 2014 before returning to France. Check out our photo album of those years. We lived on Avenue des Merles in the beautiful 'Chant d'Oiseau' neighborhood and worked in European School 3, within cycling distance of home.
