Belgian royals are very much at home at music store La Boîte à Musique: “The sub-emperor of Japan also came by here”

On the eve of his wedding, Filip, then crown prince, came to La Boîte à Musique to pick out a Chopin collection box. “For someone who was very dear to him,” says purveyor Bertrand de Wouters (56) in Story with a wink. No wonder that the marriage of our royal couple has sounded like a beautiful symphony for 23 years. For the soundtrack of their lives, the court often listens to this music store in Brussels.
