Apresentação geral
Mons, Tournai and heritage Hainaut
Large squares, belfries, cathedral, industrial heritage and Walloon cities close to France.
The discovery of Mons, Tournai and Hainaut heritage revolves around Mons, Grand Hornu and Tournai Cathedral. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
Ver tudo
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: mainly cultural interest and scattered sites. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

World Heritage
Minières néolithiques de silex de Spiennes (Mons)
In Spiennes, neolithic mining reveals an underground world of wells and galleries dug to extract flint. The site is interested in its very concrete gestures: detached blocks, tools, extraction traces and framed accesses that make the technical organization of a prehistoric community feel felt.
World Heritage
Les quatre ascenseurs du canal du Centre et leur site, La Louvière et Le Roeulx (Hainaut)
On the canal of the Centre, the four hydraulic elevators of La Louvière and Roeulx show how the Belgian industry has tamed the differences in level without multiplying the locks. Metal, basins and engine rooms give us a still very legible engineering, especially when the boats animate the canal.
Heritage City
Mons
Mons is discovered around its Grand Place, its cobbled streets, its belfry and its facades that tell of an urban and heritage Hainaut. The city maintains a pleasant scale, conducive to a slow visit between heritage, cafes and museums.
Industrial heritage
Grand-Hornu
Grand Hornu brings together geometrical courses, neoclassical facades and ancient mining buildings in an industrial complex of great legibility. The conversion into an exhibition site adds an interesting tension: the design and contemporary art rooms keep in the background the memory of work, the working-class cities and coal.
