An old customs post on the border between Belgium and France in Alveringem. Border checkpoints began to close after the Schengen Agreement was signed more than 30 years ago. The goal of the agreement was to abolish internal border controls and was seen as a major achievement of European integration that has facilitated travel, tourism, trade and supply chains across the bloc, boosting economic growth.

The seated customs officer at the door of the listed house is reminiscent of the former border post between Belgium and France.

A reminder of pre-Schengen days. The old border post between France and Belgium, with signs on either side of the border announcing your arrival into France or Belgium.
