L'Escale de Mons is a reflection, a point of view of what the representation of our Mons heritage can be. Stroll through a chimerical story where illustrious characters, architecture, folklore, flora and fauna appear in quirky assemblages. To accompany the composition, Olivier Sonck, visual artist, provides a sentence made of double entendres. This participatory work was produced as part of the project "Vhello, le Réseau Points-Noeuds en Coeur du Hainaut" [VHELLO, the Node Point Network in the Heart of Hainaut] with the participation of citizens.
