Send Flowers to Mons, Belgium

Set on a hill in the province of Hainaut, Mons is crowned by a baroque belfry that is listed as World Heritage. On the Grand-Place below, visitors stroke the head of a small iron monkey for luck. The great event of the year is the Doudou, held around Trinity Sunday, when a procession carries the shrine of Saint Waudru and a staged fight between Saint George and the dragon draws the whole town into the streets.

Mons has an unusually international population for its size. SHAPE, the NATO military headquarters, is at Casteau just to the north, and service families from many countries live in the surrounding villages. For these recipients a private home address works far better than the base. The city also has university students, and families in Jemappes, Cuesmes, Nimy, Ghlin and Hyon.

Anyone who wants to send flowers to Mons should order before midnight local time for delivery the next day, Monday to Saturday. Sundays and public holidays are excluded.
