There are three regions: Flanders in the north where the official language is Dutch; Wallonia in the south where French is the official language; and Brussels-Capital region where both languages are used. Brussels is the headquarters of the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

One of Europe's great destinations, Belgium is known for its medieval cities and castles, gourmet food, fine Belgian chocolate, Belgian beer, Belgian waffles, friendly, hospitable people and of course BELGIAN FRIES.

BELGIAN FRIES ("frieten") are part of the Belgian culinary and cultural heritage. Belgium has more Belgian Fry stands ("frietkots"), than breweries - and we all know how much the Belgians love their beer!
