From Wikipedia:

Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium is home for two main linguistic groups, the Flemings and the French-speakers, mostly Walloons, plus a small group of German-speakers. Belgium's two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north, with 59% of the population, and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia, inhabited by 31%. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish Region and has 10% of the population.[5] A small German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia.[6] Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political and cultural conflicts are reflected in the political history and a complex system of government.[7][8]

So yes they speak French, but a larger part of the population speaks Dutch (Flemish is a Dutch language dialect).

Also, "French" toast has been around longer than France, although they didn't add the egg til later. The idea of frying slices of bread and putting like honey or w/e on it came around while Rome was still kickin ass.

Judging by the name, I thought Stella Artois would be from France.  I guess it is from Belgium.  Thank you, sys, for making the world right for me again - especially since I started teaching myself French just yesterday.

Stella is the worst belgian beer made.
