The Place du Jeu de Balle (French, pronounced [plas dy ʒø d(ə) bal], "Ball Game Square") or Vossenplein (Dutch; "Foxes' Square") is a square located in the heart of the Marolles/Marollen district of the City of Brussels, Belgium. Since 1873, it has held a famous flea market, known as the Old Market.[1][2]

The area around the square is characterised by the presence of restaurants and typical Brussels cafés.[1] It can be accessed from Brussels-Chapel railway station, as well as by the metro and premetro (underground tram) station Porte de Hal/Hallepoort on lines 2, 3, 4 and 6.
