<div id="ygrps-yiv-978748228">The GCEBE team members have three versions of BEFRLU<br/>
<br/>
1) The fence (border BEFR?) meating the river Chiers<br/>
2) A small brook (border BEFR?) meating the river Chiers<br/>
3) The border marker on &quot;Belgium&quot; side of fence/brook<br/>
<br/>
This is what I have received from Luxembourg so far:<br/>
<br/>
Concerning the border between France and Belgium, I have no precise information on our luxemburgish maps (only an indication that the border is at the confluent with the small brook). <br/>
The official text (translated from french!) of the delimitation treaty between Luxembourg and France of 1820 says: &quot; ..from this point... the border follows a straight line in direction south-east between the meadow of... and the property of.... up to the river Chiers..&quot;. <br/>
<br/>
So one must admit that in 1820 there was probably no brook. <br/>
In order to find  the actual definition of the border, one has to consult the cadastral documents of France or (and ) Belgium. <br/>
