Musée du Doudou
This museum is entirely dedicated to the crazy Ducasse celebrations that yearly take place in Mons. You will learn about the history of the event. The audio content is in French, English and Dutch.
It was built near the current location of the belfry, and was moved on the Grand Place in the 13th century. The flamboyant Gothic building we see today dates from the 15th century. In front of it stands a statue of a monkey, which is said to bring good fortune to those who pat his head.
The centre of the historic town and the stage for the annual mock-battle of the Lumeçon.
