the presentation brochure.

As every visitor will realise, Mons is a delightful artistic city
that boasts an amazing heritage that has been recognised by
UNESCO on an international level.
But above and beyond its heritage and architecture, the City
of the Doudou is also incredibly proud of the atmosphere and
creativity generated by all of its tourists, students and members
of SHAPE (NATO headquarters).
Mons has always stood out thanks to its commitment to hotels
and shopping. The original gift route introduces you to the unique
charm of the little shops that line the streets of the old town,
offering so much more than what you might see in the usual
international high street stores.
This initiative was launched in 2007 and has enjoyed great
success given the many customers that have benefi ted from it
and the website dedicated to the initiative, which has attracted
such a large number of visitors every day.
Snap up an original gift!
For parties, birthdays or just the pleasure
of reating someone else or yourself, come to Mons,
the City of the Original Gift!

The 47 shops that are included in the scheme are now looking
forward to introducing you to some unusual gifts and products that
will give your loved ones a real treat. You will be able to recognise
them thanks to the “Mons, Ville du Cadeau Original” label (Mons,
the City of the Original Gift) displayed on their windows.
We hope that the range of original items that have been selected
will encourage you to buy something a bit different!
Find the label displayed
in shop windows and follow
a shopping route through
the streets of old Mons.
