What is a Mall?

During our drive home from Normandy, we stopped at a McDonald's just north of Paris. The McDonald's was in a mall. As we parked the car and walked towards the McDonald's, Elisabeth asked, "What are all these stores doing in the same building?" Rich and I suppressed our laughter and explained malls and how they are organized.

Malls do not really exist in Brussels. There is only one that I know of in Brussels in Woluwe St. Pierre. I go there occasionally, but the girls like the small shops like L'Atelier de Gepeto in Boisfort (similar to Doodlehoppers in Falls Church).
