Best Answer

Belgium isn't a french speaking country. Actually it has 3 official languages: French, Dutch and German. 60% of the people speak Dutch and 40% speak French. Only a small part speaks German. The french speaking part of Belgium ( Walloon ) used to be a part of France, but it was added to Flanders during the Napoleon War. That explains why they speak French in Walloon.
