A Belgian farmer unknowingly altered the French-Belgian border after moving a stone marker over 7 feet into French territory to clear his tractor’s path.
The 200-year-old marker’s relocation temporarily expanded Belgium’s borders, sparking lighthearted concerns from officials on both sides.
The error was discovered by a local history enthusiast, and the situation is set to be resolved amicably, with plans to return the stone to its original position.
