Mons — from Jemappes to Havré
From Jemappes to Havré, this route brings together six buildings in Mons and its former municipalities, built between 1928 and 1940. In Jemappes, the Institut Saint-Ferdinand of the Brothers of the Christian Schools has a classroom wing of 1937 in an Art Deco style tinged with modernism; in Cuesmes, the school complex on Rue Ferrer, designed by E. Rousselle, dates from 1940. The route then passes through Hyon, at Mathieu Pigeolet’s house with its cascading cubic volumes (1935). In the centre of Mons stand the house on Boulevard Dolez signed by M. Pigeolet (1928) and the Institut Saint-Luc (1928), whose rounded façade marks the corner of Rue du Trouillon Voûté. It ends in Havré, at the former municipal hall inaugurated in 1930.
