The only street market dedicated to the world of Hergé gets underway July 18, 2009 at 4:00 pm in Brussels. Bringing together approximately 40 merchants from many different nations, there are sure to be interesting finds.

The inspiration of the market comes directly from the book, Secret of the Unicorn where we saw Tintin purchase the fateful model ship that launched a two-book series and now a major motion picture by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson.

Lest you think this is just another marketing tie-in to the upcoming film, this is actually the fifth year of the market at Place du Jeu de Balles in the heart of Marolles, just a stones throw fom la rue Terre-Neuve, the street that inspired Labrador Road, Tintin's home address during his early adventures.

Even so, with all the excitement of Tintin's 80th birthday, and the buzz surrounding the upcoming films, this year's market should be particularly exciting.
