Parc de Forest / Park van Vorst

ViewpointLocal favourite

A classified 13-hectare park on the Senne valley slope, laid out with a sightline to the Palace of Justice dome; from its mound you see a wide panorama with about ten church towers. Forest and Saint-Gilles residents come here, not tourists; in 2026 its chalet reopened as the bar-restaurant Villa next to a summer guinguette.
