Porta di Scaarbeek

Description

La Porta di Schaarbeek è stata scelta nel 1864 come luogo di partenza per un volo in pallone da Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, alias Nadar. I componenti del pallone aerostatico furono stesi sul pavimento nel vicino palazzo di vetro dei Giardini Botanici. In precedenza, Nadar aveva già effettuato alcuni voli con il suo pallone a Parigi, sopra il Champ de Mars. Ora era qui per allietare le feste nazionali belghe (che allora si celebravano in autunno). Tra gli invitati c'erano Leopold I, Jules Anspach (l'allora sindaco di Bruxelles) e lo scrittore Charles Baudelaire. Nadar utilizzò delle transenne per garantire la sicurezza dei presenti. Ancora oggi si parla in Belgio di una chiusura Nadar. Lo stesso uomo non riusciva a ridere di questa denominazione e vi scrisse persino una lettera al re belga.
