Cities to discover today

Hainaut · Mons and Tournai

Mons

Mons, Bergen in Flemish, is the capital of Hainaut and is French-speaking. The center climbs the hill around the Grand-Place, the Hôtel de Ville with the lucky monkey and the Beffroi de Mons, a UNESCO World Heritage site, up to the Collégiale Sainte-Waudru, the starting point of the Doudou. Museums include the Mundaneum, the BAM and the Mons Memorial Museum. In the surroundings are the Maison Van Gogh in Cuesmes, the flint mines of Spiennes, the Grand-Hornu and, in Brugelette, the Pairi Daiza zoo.

Luxemburgo · Ardennes

Saint-Hubert

Town on the Ardennes plateau, at about 470 metres above sea level, surrounded by the large Saint-Hubert forest. It grew up around a Benedictine abbey that received, in the 9th century, the body of Saint Hubert, patron saint of hunters. The abbey's old church, now the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, has a 16th‑century Gothic nave and 60‑metre towers. Since 1991 the town has used the title European capital of hunting and nature.

Hainaut · Mons and Tournai

Tournai

Tournai, Doornik in Flemish, is one of the oldest cities in Belgium; it was the capital of the Franks and French is spoken there. The centre revolves around the Cathédrale Notre-Dame, with five towers, and the Beffroi de Tournai, both UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the triangular Grand-Place. On the banks of the Escalda is the Pont des Trous, a medieval gate over the river. The museums are the Musée des Beaux-Arts, designed by Victor Horta, and the TAMAT, dedicated to tapestry.

Namur · Ardennes

Rochefort

City of the Famenne, in the province of Namur, on the edge of the Ardennes. The name comes from the medieval castle, the "rocha forte", first mentioned in 1155, whose ruins still dominate the center. In Han-sur-Lesse, a locality of the municipality, the river Lesse cuts through a limestone hill underground and forms the Grottes de Han, beside a 250-hectare wildlife park. Between Rochefort and Jemelle lies Malagne, a 1st-century Gallo-Roman villa.
