Marchipont
Marchipont is a section of the Belgian commune of Honnelles, located in the Walloon Region in the province of Hainaut.History
The existence of this borough is attested, in various forms, in very old documents, demonstrating that smallness and longevity can go hand in hand.
A lost land, between Angre and Quiévrain, suspended between France and Belgium, forgotten in the extreme northwest of Les Honnelles, Marchipont was even, from its origins, the ideal hideout for smugglers. It's a fact that the Honnelles region has a common border with France, several tens of kilometers long, and this border has until recently, been the battleground of customs officials and fraudsters.
