Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Commemorative name
Theme: Arts and culture
Named in: 1910

César Franck (1822-1890) était un musicien et compositeur au piano. Il n'est pas Bruxellois et n'a jamais vécu à Bruxelles. Il est originaire de Liège et vécut à Paris, où il a été enterré. Mis à part quelques concerts à Bruxelles, cet homme n'a donc rien à voir avec la commune. (remark in French, as published)
