Passage

former Socialist Press

We know little about Trahmer where L'Echo des Cités started. The mentioned address (117, allée d'Orsenna) resembles a lot to the building of the former Socialist Press across the street of Centre belge de la bande dessinée (CBBD). During the first Obscure Convention a possible passage has been found.
