Very nice neighbourhood!

Forest and park around the corner, 2 schools centrally located in the neighbourhood, community centre, many playgrounds and a sports club. There is a lot to do in the Bras, especially for primary school-aged children. The neighbourhood association is active and organises a fun activity almost every month.

In terms of nature, there is room for improvement; there is not much to do.
