Abbaye de la Paix-Dieu

The Heritage Trades Centre, based on the site of the former Abbaye de la Paix-Dieu in Amay, has the fundamental mission of preserving and passing on knowledge and expertise in the field of architectural heritage and old buildings. Various awareness-raising, training and information activities are organised there, reaching a wide and diverse audience, from the youngest to the most specialised.

Every year, several hundred pupils and students from primary, secondary and higher education, as well as teachers, take part in the educational activities of the Centre des métiers du patrimoine.

The Centre also offers a wide range of specialised theoretical and practical training courses for professionals in the construction and heritage sectors.

The Centre de la Paix-Dieu provides administrative support for the joint master's degree in conservation and restoration of immovable cultural heritage, which brings together five French-speaking universities and a college.

Please note : due to an incident, the main entrance is currently closed. We will keep you informed once it has been repaired.

Bright Brussels Festival 2026

The Brussels Festival of Lights guides you through four evenings, from 12 to 15 February, in the iconic central district of Brussels.

Rediscover the historic city centre through more than twenty poetic works and sparkling activities created by artists from around the world.

This year's circuit is unique and features 20 works. The route is approximately 6 km long and forms a loop.

In addition to these artistic installations, a complementary programme punctuates the festival with guided tours, live entertainment and heritage lighting. There are also several facilities accompanying the circuit, such as the Bright Brussels Market for shopping, Bright Brussels Kids for entertaining the youngest visitors and the Bright Brussels Café for a gourmet break.

For this fourth edition, in collaboration with Access-i, only the circuit itself has been made accessible and certified.

Bright Festival is an immersive and artistic experience in the heart of the capital of Europe. Not to be missed !

Practical information :
  • There are seating areas along the route: Parc Royal, Place de la Monnaie, Place des Martyrs, Cathedral of Saint Gudula.

  • The route is completely free of charge. No registration is required.

  • You can start and finish the route wherever you like.

  • This year, information points are located at Place de la Monnaie and at the entrance to the Royal Park.

  • The lighting in the city centre is quite low. The lights are covered with pink cloth along the entire route, but this greatly reduces the overall brightness.

  • Arrangements have been made to facilitate crossings and contrasts. This week's rainy weather may disrupt some of these arrangements. A team of technicians will ensure that these arrangements are maintained throughout the festival as far as possible.

  • The artwork in the courtyard of the Town Hall may pose a problem in terms of accessibility (QR code to be scanned).
