Culture Fruitière

We went apple picking at a beautiful apple orchard!

It is a nice experience for kids and they learn a lot of things. If you’re looking to go apple picking in Brussels, this is one of the closest places.

There is also an old swing – although the sign says to swing at your own risk 🙂

There are several varieties of apples. The price depends on how many kilos you buy

There are also two donkeys, Johny and Edgard!

When to Go Apple Picking in Belgium at Culture Fruitière?
