Once a year, during the weekend of Trinity, all the people of Mons go into a frenzy to celebrate the traditional Ducasse known as the Doudou. In 2005 the celebration was recognised by UNESCO. Today, this oral and intangible heritage is more alive than ever. Follow the trail of Saint George and Saint Waltrude. It will take you through some of the most emblematic sites of the city’s architectural and artistic patrimony.

Nice interactive museum. Unfortunately the projectors in the rooms were off, make sure to ask the entrance to have them turned on.
