The Champs-Élysées of Deurne-Zuid

Rudy Baeyens was born and raised on Herentalsebaan in Deurne. In this audio guide, he takes you on a tour of his “Sjanzelizee” and chats with shopkeepers who have passed their businesses down from generation to generation. Take a dive into the street’s colorful past.

The tour starts at the Den Dorpel coffee shop and ends at ‘t Mestputteke. You’ll discover that Herentalsebaan in Deurne actually has five names, that most women wear bras that don’t fit, that the horse butcher makes his own sausage, how to deliver an ice cream cake to a family without a freezer, or how to unload window glass on a cobblestone street.
