Waremme <-> Borgworm
Crisnée <-> Gerstenhoven
Visé <-> Wezet
Bassenge <-> Bitsingen
Lanaye <-> Ternaaien

Gramont – Geraardsbergen
Tournai – Doornik
Tirlemont – Tienen
Lille – Rijsel
Tamise -Temse
Anvers – Antwerpen
Furons – Voeren
Liège -Luik
You name it!
Charbecques as they say in France
Jezus-Eik => Notre-Dame-au-bois
