Walhain is a French-speaking municipality of Belgium located in the province of Walloon Brabant (Walloon Region). It consists of the former municipalities of Nil-Saint-Vincent-Saint-Martin, Tourinnes-Saint-Lambert and Walhain-Saint-Paul.
Walhain is a little bit famous because, although it is quite a little village, they have two successful national sports clubs. Firstly, they have a semi-professional football club, Royal Wallonia Walhain playing in the third Belgian division although they are very aggressive and get into fights regularly. They also have a good volleyball club, with both women's and men's teams playing in the second national division (the first division in Belgium being professional).
