The bronze figures represent 2 popular originals, which are intended to represent the special folk character here. The two chat deep and each have a snail tied and in a cage so that they do not escape during the conversation. It's tranquil here.

Sculpture by Suzanne Godard (in 2000) depicting figures invented by Namurois Jean Legrand.
As "ephemeral heroes of the daily press", they embody the old "Chwè" by Sambre and Meuse, which "tot doucemint" strolls through the streets of Namur and deals with "the rain on the brines" (the rain and the sun). Two nostalgics of a bygone era, when you took the time to live, meditate and "the Batias to r'watiti" (watching the boats).
Her success lies in her philosophy of common sense, the calm and fatalistic mood. "Comment: Namur Cent Detours.

This is a commemorative stone on Namur Town Hall.
The stone states that the city of Namur commissioned the building or renovation in 1932 and names the mayor, aldermen, and architect at the time.
At the top are the Namur city coat of arms and the Walloon lion, a symbol of urban and regional identity.
