We took a family trip to Mons 2015 (European Capital of Culture) the other day. It was surprising to see how beautiful this city has become. I remembered it as dull and grey but in fact it has a cosy, charming and old style.The events and artistic creations set up for the cultural capital are spread all over town. You can take young children with you and walk around. You will always bump into something special such as Sloths hanging above your head. The children were a bit puzzled. Were these real?
Lily was very amused by the books column. I didn’t see it but she stole a page and used it afterwards for her artworks at home!There are many installations worth a look. They change the place for a giant red ball that you have to find and it’s always set in a random place. There are a lot of exhibitions worth a look as well, and great museums to go and visit (with kiddos, no problem):https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=146&v=MDKJkb0AqisTheir website is excellent: Go Mons!
