Stadtführung : La Monstrouilleuse (Mons am Flusslaufe der Trouille entlang)

Un joli petit parc

Mooi om zien. Zeker eens langs gaan.

Lucy and the Butterflies’ (or La petite fille aux papillons) by French artist David Mesguich is a poetic and monumental sculpture that captivates with its interplay of innocence and strength. Inspired by the saying “butterflies in the stomach” and a childhood painting of a heart threatened by scissors, Mesguich reimagined his daughter Lucie surrounded by butterflies — breaking the scissors to symbolize protection, resistance, and hope . The resulting work—comprising over 2000 triangular steel facets standing about 7 m tall—beautifully transforms a busy urban square into a space for reflection. While striking, its grand scale can at times feel a little out of place in the historical setting of Roosevelt Square. But overall, it’s a powerful and thoughtful addition to Mons — a symbol of both fragility and resilience.

Très joli

Sympathique œuvre d'art métallique à facettes. Elle est grande ! Cette œuvre est originale et vaut le détour. Elle se trouve dans le parc devant la collégiale Sainte-Waudru donc vous pouvez faire d'une pierre deux coups en visitant Mons.
