The Nivelles shopping centre has solar panels for energy reducing, and a healthy indoor lighting.
The entrance
the fully packed parking with the Hotel Nivelles behind
Many people had the same idea as I had and it was quiet crowded.
Nice lamps were hanging over the aisles
There were many restaurants and cafés, benches to sit down, I liked these quaint seats.
The first Easter eggs
Despite the cold outside there were many people lining up for Australian ice cream
an American store
the famous Belgian chocolates,
All kind of different items
and a frog greeting the children. I also liked this shopping caddie for parents with kids

So many delicious shops!
ReplyDeleteShopping centres have changed so much There was a time you could only shop there but now there are cinemas, restaurants and exhibitions. A whole entertainment centre.
ReplyDeleteAll pics are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautifully light indoors. Great decor all over. And YUM to the Aussie ice cream and Belgium chocolates. I would be so fat if I lived in a cold country! Thanks for sharing your world. Jo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of a very creative shopping center being ecologically concerned ~

I used to love large shopping centers, but I have reverted back to the good old high street. There you can still find some shops that are not in chains! Although they get rarer now as well.
ReplyDeleteMind you, if I have nothing to do and there is a big center in the area: you might just find me there!
Australian ice cream? What could that be? These large shopping centres look very similar in every country of the world. We call the public seating in shopping centres, Dad seats, somewhere for the husband to sit while waiting for his wife who is in a dress shop.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes like to window shop inside the mall.
ReplyDeleteNice looking mall -- indoors with nice outdoor-like lighting. A hundred years ago or so when I was still working, I sometimes used to walk at a mall near us for the exercise (in the rainy dark winter weather). It's not a terrible way to get up and move after (or before) sitting at a desk all day long as I used to.
