With town hall (in rococo) and medieval belfort (1369) in the background

 

In the town of Lier, Flanders, you can visit every sunday morning a famous pigeon market. The pigeon sport is a typical Belgian sport with competitions, trusting the magical "GPS-system" of pigeons to find there home, even if they were transported to France. This market in Lier is the greatest pigeon market of Europe : busses full of English, Dutch and German buyers visit the market.
