Jekerkwartier
Discover the Jeker Quarter
According to residents and entrepreneurs of the Jeker Quarter, there is really no need to tell you where the Jeker Quarter is, because you will automatically notice it when you are there. For there is an unmistakable French atmosphere here: from locals strolling leisurely through the streets full of monuments to students lying reading in the park and the many terraces where it is good to linger.
