What Happens To A Border When The River Changes Course?
The River Lys (Leie, in Flemish) has formed the border between Belgium and France for nearly 200 years. The only problem is: rivers move. So what happens to the border when the river takes a new course? What does it look like? And with hundreds of river borders around the world, how do different countries deal with it? I went to northeast France / southwest Belgium to investigate...

The border says, "I guess I should get out of the way!"
