The surroundings of the private showroom

Some people travel long distances to come to Scène Discrète’s private showroom. There are different reasons for this: people come for :
– personalized advice
– a dedicated space
– designer lingerie that you won’t find anywhere else in Belgium
– and a personalized service

The fitting room is located in a private enclosure in Glabais, a charming little village in Walloon Brabant between Waterloo, Lasne and Nivelles. Parking is easy and you won’t meet anyone else as it is by appointment only. We are thus far from crowded city centres and shoppings. More likely as in a bubble, suspended, out of time.  

It is accessible during the day but can also be accessible in the early evening, on Saturdays and sometimes even on public holidays. It’s an personalized service based on availability. By appointment only to ensure a special moment.

When people are booking their appointment I am often asked what they could do or visit in the surroundings of the private showroom. Here is a non exhaustive list of places that are interesting to visit. This will allow you to organize your day or evening in the best possible way.
