Give Music a Chance
Give Music a Chance was an eclectic, family-friendly music bash taking over the gorgeous grounds of Waterloo’s Campus d‘Argenteuil on Saturday. It's not only a festival but also a charity event. All proceeds are going to social projects in Vietnam and Myanmar, giving young people in areas affected by poverty or conflict the opportunity to make music. We meet the organiser.

Restaurant Vincent: the Îlot Sacré is getting its soul back
Over the years, the Rue des Bouchers became a tourist trap filled with characterless restaurants serving lousy food and employing aggressive touting tactics to catch unwary tourists. But things are finally changing. The city has embarked on an ambitious plan to upgrade the streets of the Îlot Sacré, while enforcing regulations to weed out the worst restaurants and at the same time attract quality local restaurateurs. Julien Van Beneden, of the restaurant group Accueil et Traditions speaks with us about Restuarant Vincent, one of the oldest and certainly one of the most eye-catching restaurants with its incredible entirely tiled interior, which he has taken over and plans to bring back to its former culinary glory. Alderwoman Marion Lemesre explains what the city is doing to help.
