Grotto of Jette
Sunday saw the launch of the audio guide to the 'Grotteke van Jette'. The Brussels Heritage Unit is the first to use the new audio player that has recently been included in the ErfgoedApp .
Through the audio walk, you will learn more about this 100-year-old replica of the Lourdes grotto where Mary supposedly appeared to Bernadette in 1858. More than a hundred years later, the Lourdes grotto in Jette still stands, including a landscape garden with a Stations of the Cross and chapels for the Rosary.
Although religious in origin, this place has also acquired a cultural significance for many Brussels residents. The Brussels Heritage Cell, BBOT, VPW Brussel-West vzw and community center Essegem interviewed volunteers, visitors and passionates and turned it into an audio walk. The audio guide takes you on a tour of the "13 stations" and you hear firsthand what makes this place so special.
You can borrow an audio guide in store 'Avé Maria' next to the grotto or simply use your own smartphone with the ErfgoedApp on it. Via the 'Nearby' button or the walking and cycling map in the ErfgoedApp , select the walk 'The Lourdes grotto of Jette' and listen to the fragments on your phone. Even if you are not in Jette, you can listen to the walk via the ErfgoedApp. After all, no location restriction was set.
For this walk, the Brussels Heritage Cell was the first to use the new audio player recently included in the ErfgoedApp . The simple mp3 player with optional photo and text functions is ideal for those who want a quick audio guide or walk.
