Côté – Heritage & Culture Map

Every place has a story. Côté tells it. Discover local heritage on an interactive map: history, anecdotes, monuments and culture points per municipality and sub-municipality, narrated to match the reader. Alongside the map, learn the West-Flemish dialect through interactive lessons and play word games drawn from a real dialect vocabulary pool.
