The town of

Shrove Tuesday half the region comes to Binche for the huge celebration that runs from Tuesday through Sunday

.

About 7 miles north of Turnhout is the small village of Baarle-Hertog. I like this village because you actually leave Belgium and enter Holland and after about a mile or so, you re-enter Belgium and the village of Baarle-Hertog. Only half the village is in Belgium and the other half is in Holland and the border cuts through the center of town, so if you happen to be in a pub on one side of the street and want to call the grocery store on the other side of the street, it might be an international long-distance call. On the south side of the village is the Brouwerhuis, one of the best beer shops in Belgium that also has a restaurant and pub attached. One can expect to find upwards of 700 beers here, but many are non-Belgian beers.
