Utopix - HyacintheThe Mayor's Garden: A green pause in the heart of Mons
Behind the Town Hall, the Mayor's Garden offers a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. This haven of tranquility, rich in vegetation and history, invites you to discover its surprising sculpture and century-old trees. A perfect place to relax, listen to the carillon of the belfry, or enjoy the outdoor concerts.
Behind the Town Hall, the Mayor's Garden (Jardin du Mayeur), designed between 1930 and 1936, is a little haven of tree-lined peace right in the heart of the city.
It contains the Ropieur sculpture (Gober, 1937), which splashes passers-by, as well as lots of century-old trees including copper beeches, lime trees, paulownia, horse-chestnut trees and other attractive plants.
As you leave via the Rue d'Enghien, take the Passage Victor Hugo, which takes you on a scenic route to the Rue Margerite Bervoets... not far from the magnificent baroque belfry of Mons.
The Mayor's Garden is the perfect place to listen to the bells of the belfry, and you can often hear concerts there too.
