Giants

Jean-Joseph and Charlotte

In 1987 the idea to create a giant of the district was created.  The brick worker was born.  This was the first giant Ottignies.  The brick worker reminds the population of the former existence of a brickworks factory in the Bon-Air section of Céroux-Mousty. In 1988, Jean-Joseph received a companion: Charlotte.
On August, 15, 2007, Jean-Joseph married Mélie Dèl Crwe.
