In 1875 a new town planning project was started by the architect Gédéon Bordiau. The plan had to lead the water from higher city parts like Schaarbeek and Woluwe to the old pond of Saint-Josse.

   
  • Access: Square Marie-Louise, Avenue Palmerston, Square Ambiorix, Square Marguerite

  • Park managed by the City of Brussels

The works by Bordiau consisted of making new public gardens and avenues. Successive ponds were dug, the first one situated on the Square Marguerite. The drainage of the water ended in waterfalls at the Square Marie-Louise. The district is well preserved and reflects the town planning at the end of the 19th century. The public gardens contain sculptures from the big artistic movements of the 19th century.
