In the Balstraat you could shoot an old Flemish film. Time has stood still in this cobbled street, lined with whitewashed workers’ houses. In the Museum of Folk Life, housed in a row of one-room 17th-century houses, you can see how people lived and worked at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. At the end of row stands the cosy museum inn, De Zwarte Kat (‘the black cat’). Turn around for an excellent view of the fascinating Jerusalem Chapel.
