This summer in
July-August 2015, there’s a new activity in Mons.
It’s such a
beautiful day on July 11, 2015 so we tried a new boat trip excursion departing
from the marina of Grand Large to the village of Obourg. I was excited
especially on the last departure, there’s nobody except us, the boat captain and
his assistant. I thought, what a romantic evening private cruise!
The journey was
so short, less than 45 minutes with commentary in 3 languages (French, Dutch,
English) and there’s nothing really special to see along the canal.
The Grand Large
is actually an artificial lake. It links to the Canal du Centre, an important
waterways in Belgium.
Ticket can only
be bought at the VisitMons office or online for the price of 7 Euro (adult)
