A day at Mons Cœur en neige: chalets on the Grand-Place, the baroque belfry, Saint Waltrude’s and the lucky monkey.
Every winter, Mons lights up for “Mons Cœur en neige”, with chalets on the Grand-Place and in the nearby streets. Your group discovers the Gothic town hall and its little iron monkey, whose head people stroke for good luck, then the collegiate church of Saint Waltrude and its Golden Chariot. The baroque belfry, a UNESCO World Heritage site, towers over the town and can be visited by lift. A seated lunch in the warmth breaks up the day nicely, followed by plenty of free time among the chalets with mulled wine or a waffle. Please note: the Grand-Place is cobbled and gently sloping, and the belfry stands at the top of the hill; we adapt the route to everyone’s pace.
