🇧🇪 Have you heard of DouDou? No, it has nothing to do with poo…instead, gold and good luck are involved! For the last 700 years, the Ducasse de Mons (or Doudou) has taken place in the spring on Trinity Sunday in Mons, Belgium. This unique superstitious festival originated in 1349 during a plague - the golden Shrine of Waltrude was marched through the streets in hopes that it would stop the disease, and legend says, after the procession, the plague miraculously ceased!

It has fascinating history with a mixture of Turkish, Jewish and Catholic influence, great hiking nearby, amazing food, and tons of family-friendly activities. Here are my must-see and do things in Pécs…for more, see link in bio!
