Q16 : Belgian cities

Give three Belgian cities (or villages), except Brussels, named in the albums. Their names are sometimes "hidden" (different spelling).

Are we talking about the English books here?

Because I can think of one very obvious “hidden” village name in the French texts which isn’t in the English-language books at all…

It is not "Sart-Moulin" hidden in Moulinsart.
I think these names are also in the English books.

Thanks chevet - you guessed the way my mind was working!

Well, for two there's the monk's conversation on page 44 of Tibet, where they describe Blessed Lighting; "as gullible as a Poh-Pryang peasant" (Poperinge, a town in the hop-growing region) and "as blind as a bat from Wei-Pyiong" (Wépion, where they grow strawberries) which together make a nice Belgian beer!

And I think Antwerp is mentioned in Lotus, on the blackboard behind Mistsuhirato, but I'm guessing 'cause I can't find my English copy!

Poperinge and Wépion are two right answers !!
You are not so far of the third one, Harrock n roll.

I suppose it's in Cigars of the Pharaoh, after Tintin escaped from the loony bin by jumping on a train and disguised himself as a woman: the train shows a board that reads 'Seyru-Arbujah'.

Herge lived in Ceroux-Mousty, a Belgian town that now has its 'Herge Street'.

It is not the city/village I was looking for but it is not a bad idea !!
Remember, Harrock n Roll was not far from the right answer !! Please turn the page !!

I don't really get what you mean...

Then it must be Sharahbang...

Char à ban is also a joke but not a Belgian city !
