Broxeele, the smallest village in the sector, however, holds a candle to all its neighbors because it's big brother, the capital of Belgium. Broxeele and Brussels have the same etymology (Bruck: swamps and Zeel: place).

Brussels has not failed to remember during his millennium because he invited with great fanfare Mayor Broxeele with his assistants. These bilingual Flemish-French impressed the city fathers of the city who could speak only French! A copy of the Manneken Pis on the pedestal that the memories of this fraternity.

Do not forget to walk around the churchyard, which includes a modest church, but not without charm, and a bucolic cemetery surrounded by a hawthorn hedge planted in the late 18th century to prevent "wild parties" did not return the graves. The former rectory, now mayor, alone among the trees reflects the local faith.
