walking along with avenue de toison d'or

Walking from Louise square to somewhere along with Avenue de Toison d'Or, I was passing through literally the shopping center of Brussels city. On my right side, I found lots of  somehow affordable apparel shops and other stores including HEMA, dutch casual chain-dimestore, and on the left across the high-way like Tunnel Louise, I saw seamless luxury shops and a tallest hotel around there, which was once crowned Hilton name on it, but recently Swiss-capital bought it and renamed it, just "The Hotel". 

The name of Avenue Toison d'Or seemed to be quite popular here in Brussels, like 5th avenue in New York City or Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, maybe from my personal viewpoint. On a night of Friday or Sunday, I watched a local talk show on TV in French (by the way, Brussels has two languages, and I often watched French programs), and in a show, the male host/middle aged was costumed like a quasi-taxi driver, and whenever a guest/celebrity of Belgium came to his show-studio/ Taxi like set construction, the guest says her/his destination to go. And watching the show at the night, the actress like pretty woman said to the driver/host, just "Toison d'Or !" with an impressively chic accent. At the end of the show, the actress actually came to the Avenue, gotting off the real taxi (without paying, of course), at the very front of newly built galeries de la Toison d'Or/ shopping arcade containing a cinema, a couple of restaurants, and young apparels like scotch and soda, also Dutch chain, again.

Here was casually kind of the center of Brussels, Avenue de Toison d'Or.
