Flobecq (Dutch: Vloesberg; Picard: Flôbek) is a Walloon municipality (with language facilities for Dutch) located in the Belgian province of Hainaut. It borders to the municipalities of Ellezelles (to the west) and Lessines (to the east) in the same province and to Brakel in the province of East Flanders, on the other side of the language border.
On January 1, 2008, Flobecq had a total population of 3,287. The total area is 23.00 km² which gives a population density of 143 inhabitants per km².
Flobecq is a tourist village. Each year, on the nearest Friday to 17 January, there is a marvelous local feast based on the adoration of Saint Antony.
Flobecq was initially under strong influence of Tournai and, as in Tournai, Picard was spoken there. Since the 13th century, the area was continuously disputed between the County of Flanders and the County of Hainaut. Therefore, the region (including neighbouring places like Lessines, Ellezelles, ...) was often called "debate land" (Dutch: debattenland; French: terre des débats).
All alone in this world you don't want it
not anymore oh no
the cares of this world con choke you out
you got no direction you can't find your way out
trapped in the maze that you call life
you're not gonna make it until you see the light so bright
these walls you built them up yourself
locked from the inside
can you break your way out
which way is up which way its down
walking in circles you can't find your way around
but Jesus will find you
and He'll never let you go
Jesus will find you
He won't leave you standing all alone
He's gonna find you
and He'll never let you down
Jesus will find you He'll help you out what are you gonna do?
the ways of this world have let you down
you wanna make it but you don't know how
losing this game someone called life
you've had enough you've had it for the last time
so watch your back as you walk astray
turn around and walk the other way
you only wnat to live for you
