Art
[edit]Every summer, from June until September, the Watou Arts Festival takes place in this village close to the French border. Poets, visual artists and upcoming talent settle in and create high level art throughout the village. Watou offers special locations as exhibition spaces, like a former monastery, an old farmhouse, school or the cellar of a brewery. The interaction between surprising spaces with sublime contemporary art and poetry provides each year a unique art experience.
Other
[edit]St. Bernardus Brewery[1] and Brouwerij Van Eecke are located in Watou.
The St. Bavo Church dates partly from the 12th century.
The Watou church and cemetery is located next to Watouplein, the square in the center of the village. During World War I, Watou and its surroundings were a quiet resting area behind the lines. No armed conflicts took place here, so Watou Churchyard only saw a few war burials between April 1915 (Second Battle of Ypres) and the Armistice of 11 November 1918.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
