This restaurant was in Louvain-la-Neuve when I lived here almost 30 years ago. Sure, you can buy crepes on the street as a sweet snack, but here you can treat yourself to a whole meal of savory filled (and filling) crepes.
Louvain-la-Neuve still has a few older farm buildings, enveloped by new buildings.
This one (above) is about two minutes from Marie's house. 
Looks bucolic, doesn't it? The Ferme du Biereau, now a cultural arts center and music venue, is right next to a school, not far from the Cyclotron Research Centre, of interest to all you nuclear physicists reading this blog. I remember going to concerts there--at the farm, not at the cyclotron.
Marie and I walked from her house to pick up her veggie subscription from the CSA (community supported agriculture). We passed sheep--notice the buildings of LLN in the background.This CSA pickup was in "La Baraque." It's a neighborhood that is an alternative to the sameness of LLN architecture, mentality and lifestyle. Many of the houses/structures are built by the residents, who live cooperatively. Here are a few of the buildings in the neighborhood:

Interesting mailboxes, too.
I want to spin then knit that sheep's fleece. wow!
Is that house made of hay-bales, or do they just insulate it? And, is that a privy next to it?
Isn't that sheep amazing? I almost got a picture when it was looking at me, but it was distracted by food.
I think that's a hay-bale house under construction. It's likely that that's a privy.
