Ellezelles (in French pronounced as /ɛlzɛl/; Dutch; Flemish: Elzele; Elzîle; Walloon: Elziele) is a municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Hainaut, Belgium.
It consists of the following districts: Ellezelles, Lahamaide, and Wodecq. Bordering Flanders, the town is home to a minority of Dutch-speakers.
The village archives contain a document "attesting" to the birth of Hercule Poirot on 1 April 1850.[1]
