but I haven't been able to locate the post. Maybe it was on another site. Anyway, Ancion and Francotte seemed to be real chummy.

Does Marc give tours of Paris also, along with Belgium?


I can confirm LAM was Leopold Ancion-Marx, they also used "The Nice One", "The Small Belgian" and "The Victoire".

I believe Francotte had working relationships with many Belgian makers. He was also one of the founders of FN.

Ask Marc about Paris. It is several hours by train from Brussels or Liege. Not a cheap ticket. Paris is wonderful, expensive, but worth a trip by itself. I have usually stayed near Notre Dame, but that has been my choice. I like the latin quarter at night.

One of these days, when I retire, I would like spend about a week in France based out of Paris. All part of a grand trip....
