The Place du Jeu de Balle (French, pronounced [plas dy ʒø d(ə) bal]; "Ball Game Square") or Vossenplein (Dutch, pronounced [ˈvɔsə(m)plɛin]; "Foxes' Square") is a square in the heart of the Marolles/Marollen district of Brussels, Belgium.

[1][2] The area around the square is characterised by the presence of restaurants and typical Brussels cafés.

[3] Though the sport is no longer played much today, it enjoyed immense popularity in Brussels in the 19th century.

[1] The square's current Dutch name, Vossenplein ("Foxes' Square"), recalls that it was built on the site of a former locomotive factory,[3] the Société du Renard [fr] (literally the "Fox Company" in English; vos meaning "fox" in Dutch).

[4] In 1873, Brussels' municipal council decided to transfer the Old Market (French: Vieux Marché, Dutch: Oude Markt), which had until then occupied the Place Anneessens/Anneessensplein, and which, in the words of a municipal councillor, "considerably harmed the appearance of the new central boulevards", to the Place du Jeu de Balle,[3] a function the square has kept to this day.
