Franco-Belgian
Two neighboring nations
Franco-Belgian describes something shared between or characteristic of both France and Belgium, particularly their French-speaking regions.
The term most often appears in discussions of comics—the Franco-Belgian tradition produced Tintin, Asterix, and a distinctive style of graphic storytelling: Franco-Belgian comics dominated European publishing for decades.
