Parliament of the French Community, Legislative assembly in Royal Quarter, Brussels, Belgium.
Parliament of the French Community is a legislative assembly in Brussels that represents French-speaking Belgians from Wallonia and Brussels. The building houses 94 representatives who meet to pass laws, approve budgets, and oversee the French Community government.
The assembly was created in 1972 during Belgium's constitutional reforms that reorganized government by language communities. This change allowed French-speaking regions to have direct representation in shaping policies affecting their populations.
The location reflects Belgium's division into French- and Dutch-speaking communities through its institutional design. It serves as a meeting point where representatives from Wallonia and Brussels work together on shared matters.
The building is located in the Royal Quarter and may be open for visits during certain times, depending on parliamentary activity. Checking ahead before visiting helps to confirm access and learn about any guided tour options.
Many representatives hold seats in multiple legislative bodies at the same time, creating connections across different levels of Belgian government. This overlap helps coordinate decisions between the community and regional levels of governance.
