Emery & Cie

More colours than the rainbow

25-29 Rue de l'Hôpital
Brussels 1000
Belgium
+32 (0)2 513 5892

Emery & Cie is a paint that can be described as acrylic casein paint, casein being a protein substance that can be found in milk. The paint looks matt, dries quickly and is odourless. In addition, it can be used on any material: plaster, bricks, cement, wood, carton, paper, cloth and glass. In the display window they claim you can paint 7-9m² with 1kg paint. There is a wide range of colour samples; the shop's intention is to allow you to take a look at their entire collection. You can ask for advice if unsure of a specific colour combination.

FNAC

Gigantic bookstore with CDs, tickets and stereos 2 Rue Neuve
Nieuwstraat/Rue Neuve
Brussels 1000

http://www.fnac.be FNAC is the giant of the Brussels bookshops. Few books cannot be found here, whether in French, Dutch, German or other languages. Their selection in English is decent. But Fnac is more than a book-store. There's a big CD department with a wide range in all genres. You can buy tickets for most local concerts, they sell cameras (and will develop your films), hi-fis, videos (tapes and equipment), video games and computers. They also organizes (free) concerts and exhibitions. This is a shop where you can easily walk around for a few hours. This megastore has just moved to the top floor of City 2. Even if you decide not to enter the shop, you should take the escalator; it gives you a beautiful view of the city.
