Pick History: Flowers for Leonie & Emilie

Welcome to Boekhoute!

More than a century ago, two best friends lived in this village: Leonie and Emilie. Just two girls from the village… or were they?

During the war, they smuggled secret letters to the Netherlands, hiding them in their clogs. Exciting, isn’t it?

They didn’t do that for no reason. They helped the Allies gather important information about the enemy. And all of that right here, in their own village!

Today, you’ll follow in their footsteps. Ready for a real adventure?
