Bousignies-sur-Roc (French pronunciation: [buziɲi syʁ ʁɔk]) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.[2]
In early 2021, the commune made international headlines[3] after some historians on a walk noticed that a stone marking the French-Belgian border near the village was moved by about two meters into the French territory.[4] Internationally, it was initially reported that the stone was moved by a Belgian farmer who was frustrated about the stone blocking the path of his tractor.[5][6] However, the owner of the area that encompasses the stone, David Lavaux, is a veterinarian who claims that he never moved the stone.[7] As of June 2021, it was discovered that the stone has not been moved back since the initial report.[8]
