2 Free Camping Car Aires (no Services) in Thieu, Belgium.
Thieu has a number of large working Boat Lifts on the Canal du Centre.
There is also a Neolithic Flint mining site.
Until January this year the Canal de Centre Ascenseur Funiculaire de Strepy-Thieu was the tallest Boat Lift in the World, it has now been beaten by the Chinees 3 Gorges Dam Boat Lift. It can lift vessels of 1350t.
You can get an idea of the size of the machinary by looking at the full sized Fork Lift Truck in the picture.
