And I care why?

I mean it's in Belgium. Why Belgian Army did not fight germans in Mons?

My dad was in the army and worked near Mons around 1974. We lived in an apartment off base in Mons. It was on a cobblestone street. I remember riding my bike a block away to a small store and buying bread and milk. I recall being told that we lived on "Henry do not" street. Obviously that is not the correct name. I believe that there was a waterway of some kind within a mile of our apartment because we took a family stroll and I remember going over a bridge. I remember driving to a castle (ruins I think) on the weekends and having picnics. In my memory it was called "Merrymont". My father is dead, and my mother has a very very poor memory. Anyone have any idea where I lived? I was only 5. Maybe Henri Culot. No, looking at satellite images, Henri Culot is too much of a major street. I remember riding my bike around a block.

I'm doing a student exchange next year and I'm having trouble deciding between France and French Belgium. Please tell me as much as you can about the differences in everyday life between the two.
