THE MUSEUM OF BORDER LIFE
Go there and contact
The border has generated behaviours, lifestyles, an economy, exchanges, in short traditions and a culture that cannot be found anywhere else. For a long time, the association "Hier en Flandre, douane et fraude, blauwers en Kommiezen", chaired by Jacques Pladys, has carried out a remarkable work of memory to collect archives, documents, objects and testimonies maintained for centuries by fraudsters and customs officers. From strollers designed for chocolate smuggling at the beginning of the century to new customs issues (protection of artistic heritage, trafficking of all kinds, traceability of dangerous goods): the evolution is impressive. If you are visiting the Mont des Cats region, come and visit this museum rich in the history of the region, located in the former presbytery of the village.
