Bordering the Impasses Schuddeveld and Sainte-Pétronille, you will find one of the favourite places of Brussels citizens: La Maison de Toone.

The Maison de Toone is simultaneously a typical estaminet with its Spanish pink brick walls, blackened beams and tiled floor, and a puppet theatre in the attic, with its wooden benches, festooned, multicoloured cushions nailed into the raw wood planks, a workshop that manufactures puppets, a library, video-library, and finally, a puppet museum. There, we find the characters who retired from the stage, these Toone heroes of the past and fetish characters of fellow puppeteers from around the world.
