Travelling in Northern France from Condé sur l'Escaut (F) on the D935 towards Peruwelz you see the Basilika on top of the hill from a distance. |
 |
Yet the church lies in Belgium! This picture was taken from the French side. |
 |
Closer look: notice the Belgian road and national signs in front of the church, telling the driver he just arrived in Belgium. |
 |
The D935 in direction of Condé sur l'Escaut (F) photografed from the church. The language spoken on both sides of this borderland is French. |
 |
Leaving Belgium: place name sign on the left, old French border stone on the right. |
