    This work, therefore, can be seen in Namur, on the Place d'Armes.
    If the Namurois is renowned for being slow by nature. It's not the case, but he enjoys it. Installed on the Place d'Armes since 2000, this work was shaped thanks to the talent of Suzanne Godard. The two friends indulge in their favorite activities: walking around quietly while speaking slowly, very slowly, like the two snails that accompany them, a symbolic animal of the city, for which the little grays have made their reputation. And you, which work caught your attention and where?

    The "petit-gris de Namur" are among the culinary specialties of the city. By the way, the snail is the symbol of Namur. There is even a song in which the inhabitants of Namur are compared to a snail: 'It is said that those of Namur are slow... but once they get there, they stay.'

    Here you'll encounter this playful bronze sculpture group: two folk figures and a giant snail. The scene is full of humor and alludes to the city's Burgundian character and the nickname of the Namur residents: "les escargots" (the snails).
    A fun, photogenic stop on your walk, where history and humor blend perfectly – ideal for a break and a smile.
