La Cambre Abbey

L'École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre (ENSAV), more known as La Cambre, is a renowned visual arts school founded by Henry van de Velde in Brussels in 1926. It was founded as the Institut supérieur des Arts décoratifs (Hoger Instituut voor Decoratieve Kunsten), and became known as "La Cambre" after the Abbey of la Cambre/Ter Kameren in which premises it was established. In 1980, La Cambre was divided into two separate institutions, the École nationale supérieure des Arts visuels (ENSAV), and the Institut supérieur d'Architecture de la Communauté française de Belgique (ISACF). Both institutions belong to the French Community of Belgium. ENSAV is still housed at the abbey while the ISACF stopped existing in 2009, when all architecture schools integrated universities, and the ISACF merged with two other institutes into the Université libre de Bruxelles. Notable alumni include Berthe Dubail, Harold Ancart, Olivier Strebelle and Anthony Vaccarello.

The Résidence de la Cambre is the first high-rise building constructed in Brussels (Belgium). It was built in 1938–1939 according to the plans of architect Marcel Peeters in a style inspired by New York Art Deco architecture. The 17-story residential tower, which stands at 20, Boulevard Général Jacques/Generaal Jacqueslaan, near the Place de l’Étoile/Sterrenplein in Ixelles, was listed as a protected monument on 14 July 2005. In April 2007, €740,000 were granted by the government of Brussels-Capital Region to renovate the facade and roof.The Résidence de la Cambre is a short walk from La Cambre Abbey and the eastern shores of the Ixelles Ponds, a part of Brussels particularly rich in Art Deco architecture.

Institut Saint-André is a French speaking Catholic free school ("ecole libre" - a subsidized state school in Belgium), situated in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium. Commonly called "Saint-André" by students, it is composed of two campuses. The primary and "maternelle" (preschool) share a site on Chaussée de Boondael, while the secondary school is found on the nearby Avenue de l'Hippodrome. The school follows the general curriculum, which includes French, Mathematics, Dutch, Science, History, Geography, Latin and Gymnastics. From the third year of secondary school, Saint-André offers elective courses, with a choice between Latin, Science, English, Business, and Classical Greek. Together, all elective and general curriculum subjects must make up 29 to 33 hours of tuition a week. The school was founded in 1906 as a boarding school for girls. It is now a mixed school, open to applications from boys and girls.

The Ixelles Ponds (French: Étangs d'Ixelles) or Elsene Ponds (Dutch: Vijvers van Elsene) are two freshwater ponds in the Brussels municipality of Ixelles. The ponds we can see today are those spared by a 19th-century campaign of drying the wetlands of the Maalbeek valley between La Cambre Abbey and Eugène Flagey Square. The two long and narrow ponds, whose total lengths are approximately 700 metres (2,300 ft), and widths are approximately 50 metres (160 ft), are aligned on a roughly North-South axis and are separated by a narrow strip of land. With the surrounding park, the Ixelles Ponds are the tip of a long strip of almost uninterrupted greenery reaching all the way from the Sonian Forest deep into Brussels' urban tissue. The ponds are an extremely popular recreation area for local residents pertaining to the Belgian upper-crust. However, in the late 1990s, the water was polluted with cyanobacteria. This is still the case with the boating lake in the nearby Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos where signs are posted at regular intervals, warning of a risk of botulism. Fishing is allowed in the ponds on Wednesdays, Sundays and public holidays.
