La Roue (Brussels)
La Roue or Het Rad (which means the wheel in French and Dutch respectively) is a district of Anderlecht, Brussels (Belgium). Located in the south of Anderlecht, it is one of this municipality's largest districts of and one of the main garden cities of the Brussels region. Built in the 1920s, with its modest and picturesque houses, it offers a great vision of an early 20th century working class neighbourhood. It is also home to one of the largest agribusiness industry campuses in Belgium, the Food and Chemical Industries Education and Research Center (CERIA/COOVI),[1] and other popular department stores.
The district is crossed by the last end of Chaussée de Mons/Bergensesteenweg and is served by the metro stations La Roue/Het Rad, Bizet and CERIA/COOVI.
