Does anyone know where I can buy a poppie for Remembrance Day in Brussels?

phipiemar

the easiest way is to go to the shops in the main square in Brussels

Can you recommend a particular shop - also which square? I thought most shops were on Rue Nueve?
Thanks - Much appreciated

phipiemar

wow. The shops of the "Rue neuve. This is for VIPs🤣🤣🤣 ...

Around the main square of Brussels, there are many shops for tourists. The quality and prices are correct. I really can not privilege one or the other.

And this is also where you will see the mythical statue of Brussels. If you are there with your family, they can even take a ride in a carriage.

Phipiemar,
                       I feel you may not know what a Remembrance day poppy is: as it would not show any favoritism to any shop as it is a charitable donation for a poppy. I thank you for your support on my post - but, I am not closer to finding a poppy. Rue Neuve by the way is random high street shops - the expensive ones are on Avenue Louise. :-)

Found the answer: from the Royal British Legion
Poppies will be available from many locations in and around Brussels as usual this year. We are very grateful for the ongoing support from businesses, schools, offices, shops, churches, associations and clubs.
