1 00:00:02,956 --> 00:00:05,538 Let me take you to the most romantic spot in Leuven. 2 00:00:05,638 --> 00:00:06,638 Follow me! 3 00:00:08,254 --> 00:00:10,141 Stop and smell the roses. 4 00:00:10,703 --> 00:00:14,248 Inhale the sweet scents of this marvellous 'Jardin Botanique', 5 00:00:14,542 --> 00:00:16,630 French, of course, for Botanical Garden. 6 00:00:23,506 --> 00:00:25,460 Over there in the old anatomical theatre 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,640 was where they dissected human bodies in the name of science. 8 00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:32,109 Now, as you can imagine, they did this only during the wintertime, 9 00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:34,320 but on a lighter note, in the summertime 10 00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:37,287 the anatomy students would shift their studies to botany. 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,640 There is only one botanist from Leuven you should know by name. 12 00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:43,240 Mr. Rembert Dodoens. 13 00:00:43,414 --> 00:00:46,800 In the 16th century he wrote, or actually drew, 14 00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:51,368 the 'Cruydeboeck'; a marvellous book of illustrations of botanical studies. 15 00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:56,380 This used to be an area of study. While it's still the oldest botanical garden in Belgium, 16 00:00:56,566 --> 00:00:58,613 it's Leuven's best-kept secret.
