Arrondissement of Mons, Belgium
Belgians seem to like small statues and the Monkey of Mons is one of them. Matter of fact, he is the symbol of this Walloonian town/​city in the south of Belgium.
The little dude is located in the main square or «grand place» and is attached to the town hall or «hotel de ville» which is very centrally located. Its not much to look at; just a little curiousity like the peeing boy up in Brussels, but it is a landmark and is well known in the city.
I give it 4 stars because yes, I am a fan of the little dude and also the city of Mons, my adopted home.

Il m’a toujours porté chance depuis mon enfance :) Une petite caresse sur sa tête, et l’esprit de Mons vous accompagnera partout :)

Ein Muss in Mons: Dem Äffchen vorne am Rathaus mit der linken Hand über den Kopf streichen, um einen Wunsch erfüllt zu bekommen — oder einfach im selben Jahr noch Glück zu haben. Was soll ich sagen, bisher hat es immer funktioniert — viel Glück!
