Belgian farmer mistakenly moves country’s border with France

(UPI) – A Belgian farmer moved a 330-pound stone out of the path of his tractor and unwittingly changed the border between Belgium and France by 7 1/2 feet.

Mayor David Lavaux, of Erquelinnes, said historians walking the area in which stones had been placed to mark the border between Belgium and France under the 1820 Treaty of Kortrijk noticed one of the stones had been moved into Bousignies-sur-Roc, France.

Lavaux said a local farmer apparently moved the 330-pound stone out of the path of his tractor and did not return it to its original location.
