Hi,
I was wondering if anybody had experience with living in a Flemish area and working in a French area. I am interested in a job in a town in Walloon Brabant just at the border with Flemish Brabant. I live in Holland now and my children are in Dutch playschool/school so I don't like the idea of starting again with French. I can speak French but my wife can't but she can speak Dutch so that is another reason.
I was thinking about somewhere like Leuven for a job in Braine-l'Alleud.
How realistic is this? I imagine that plenty of people do it but I am grateful for any advice.
Cheers. biggrin.gif
