The “Agnès Varda” site, formerly the “Ernotte” site, is located in the far south of Ixelles municipality , between chaussée de Boitsfort, rue Louis Ernotte as well as the L26 railway line. The land is partly occupied by vegetable gardens, some of which are collective. There are also a few houses in ruins as well as a social housing building, a pasture with a horse and a wasteland which has been naturally wooded on the site of former private gardens. If the municipality of Ixelles has previously considered a significant urbanization of the site, it now aims to establish a more balanced development program. Today, it is a question of preserving the vegetable gardens and improving the natural character of the place. The municipality also plans to host educational activities and public housing on the site.

The study started in early February and ended in September 2021.
