Namur
Statues in front of the Stock Exchange of Françwès et Djosèph and their snails by Suzanne Godart. "The story about the two snails - a culinary specialty of the Walloons - goes as follows. It is often said that the inhabitants of Namur are somewhat slow - whether it is laziness or stupidity, every meaning fits. The residents themselves say that they are simply slow because they give others the time to keep up with them. The image is an image of that because the snails pull the men forward. Others say that the characters are also an imagination of the lifestyle of Namur: calm down. The Burgundians love good food and take the time for this: that slow life is so bad so not yet!"
