Mons at Christmas as a group: market on the Grand-Place, the UNESCO-listed Belfry, St Waltrude’s Collegiate Church and Grand-Hornu.
In Mons, Christmas is celebrated on the Grand-Place, one of the finest squares in Wallonia, lined with old façades and dominated by the Gothic Town Hall. Your group strokes the head of the little Grand-Garde monkey, said to bring good luck, before climbing to the Belfry, the only Baroque belfry in Belgium and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. St Waltrude’s Collegiate Church, a masterpiece of Brabantine Gothic, houses the Golden Chariot that comes out every year for the Doudou festival. As an option, Grand-Hornu, a former coal-mining site also listed by UNESCO, makes a fine stop a few kilometres from the city. Clubs, associations or groups of friends from 20 participants: departure from the place of your choice and a tailor-made day.
