Hi everyone,
On friday I want to go with my car (Polish plates) to Brussels for a weekend to visit my wife. She already started procedure of sorting parking rights with commune, but it will take some time. Right now I want to know if there is a possibility to park my car for free in front of the building where she lives. There are no parking meters there. I will arrive late on friday night and leave early monday morrning.
If not just in front of the building, maybe somewhere nearby
Avenue Des Champs Elysees, 1050 Ixelles? Anyone knows if I can park somewhere there for no charge?
Thanks for help.
Where can I park a car for a weekend?

Rue des Champs Elysée is a "blue zone" street.

It says here for blue zone, Monday to Saturday, it's 2 hours maximum, must show a parking disque too, for those without parking permits. So you cannot park the car outside without moving it every 2 hours until Sunday 12am.

Tell your wife to go to the parking services today and get a "carte de stationnement pour visiteurs", cost is €5 for each day, one card for each day so you'll need 2 if you arrive on Friday night and stay till Sunday night.

Ok thanks I managed with the google translator. I thought it sucks but apparently it does not. It got better from last time i was using it quite some time ago:-)

Yes well I only ment that if theres sites I cant lead I just give them to my partner who will read them in dutch for me. I simply meant if shes living in Belgium for a period of time or is Belgium she will know french or dutch. I guess just the english wording is why you found it funny lol
