Sittard, Geleen

Antoine Gerard Theodore Hermans, better known as Toon Hermans, is one of the greatest and most famous cabaret artists the Netherlands has ever known. He was born on 17 December 1916 at the Parklaan in Sittard. Although he also lived in Hilversum and Bloemendaal, Toon spent most of his life in Sittard. The fact that this city had his heart is evident from the fact that he is also buried there.

It is no wonder that he has lost his heart to Sittard. The pleasant town, full of monumental buildings and half-timbered houses, is rich in monuments and museums. On the many terraces, you can enjoy the hospitality of Limburg and street performances. What a vibrant city Sittard is!

Besides Sittard, the surroundings are also beautiful for cycling. Between the hills, impressive castles, historic mills and beautiful views appear. Let yourself be surprised by the surroundings where Toon felt so at home.
