Impact of Paris terrorist attacks and their aftermath on Brussels' Grande Place

As reported by London's Telegraph newspaper, La Grande Place in Brussels, a world heritage site and Belgium's most iconic attraction, was left "largely deserted" this week after attacks by Islamist militants in Paris and subsequent warnings regarding an "imminent threat" to the Belgian capital.

For those who would prefer to have La Grande Place to themselves, this may be an opportune time to visit Brussels, as memories are short and I expect the crowds will soon be back, much to local merchants' relief I'm sure!
