I often travel out to the Mont Noir region on weekends – a footstep over the French border in neighbouring Belgium. It’s basically shopping on the cheap as a lot of goods (namely alcohol and cigarettes) are taxed differently in Belgium.
As you’d expect, weekend shopping pilgrimages out to border towns are a common habit for northerners. Aside from the cheaper booze, there are also many lovely countryside walks in this area, and I’m a sucker for an autumn ramble…
