Description
Just how prudish were the generations before us? Judging by the stories and images they left behind, it seems things were rather more relaxed than you might think: Adam and Eve, a generously endowed Noah on the façade of the town hall, brothels in the Pope's College, skinny-dipping in the Dijle, and debauchery in public bathhouses are just a few examples of the openness of the Ancien Régime.
But not every story is quite so risqué. Romance also has its place on this walk.
We guarantee that you will blush as you listen, captivated, to our guides.
