Frameries

Frameries is a municipality in the Hainaut region of Wallonia, situated within the Arrondissement of Mons. The town occupies land in southern Belgium near the industrial heartland of the country.

The municipality took its current form in 1977 during a major Belgian administrative reform that reorganized local structures across the country. This reorganization established the boundaries and divisions seen today.

The municipality maintains partnerships through town twinning arrangements with Issy-les-Moulineaux, Rive-de-Gier, La Chaux-de-Fonds, and Willmar.

The municipality provides residents with access to civic services through local administrative offices. Visitors seeking information or municipal assistance can find support at the main government buildings.

The area is surrounded by several forests, including the Bois Royal, which shape the local landscape and provide green space. These wooded areas give the region its natural character.
