Walk Local with Charlotte Adigéry

This very varied walk starts in Ledeberg, one of the popular neighbourhoods of Ghent. Via the centre you'll pass a lot of addresses that are unique for Charlotte. Be surprised by a lot of greenery and relaxation in our city.

What do Charlotte Adigéry and Greta Thunberg have in common? Both were once named Person of the Year  (Adigéry by Knack Focus, admittedly). After touring with a.o. Neneh Cherry & Young Fathers as support act, Charlotte has built up a very strong live reputation. Now the Ghent-based musician (with Caribbean roots) is in a musical whirlwind of her own creation: she performs electropunk with her band WWWater and released the electropop tinted Zandoli under her own name. Co-produced by Bolis Popul and released on DEEWEE, the record label of the Dewaele brothers.

9 km - 12000 steps

Ledeberg: my typically Ghent spot on the city outskirts. This place is hard to describe in one word or sentence. It's a colourful collection of ages, cultures, families, accents,... A change from Ghent city centre, but also a vibrant village in itself. In any case, that's the joie de vivre you'll find in the many local bars at Ledebergplein, which is certainly worth a pit stop.

At the end of Brusselsesteenweg you emerge in Brusselsepoortstraat. Stroll through Zuidpark, one of Ghent's many green lungs. Then, skip along Muinkpark as far as the Botanical Garden and the Citadelpark next door. Continue pottering along Bijlokekaai and get beautifully lost in the city centre, finishing at Vrijdagmarkt. There you'll find Serpentstraat, with a surprising number of trendy food & drinks spots.

There are also lots of lovely shops and places to eat and drink around Sint-Jacobs. Those with energy left for a few more kilometres can continue their walk along Prinsenhof, through Rabotpark, and ending on a bench at Houtdok, to enjoy the sunset.
