Waterloo 2006
May 7, 2006
Waterloo is located in the Brabant region in Belgium. There are several things from the "Battle of Waterloo" which took place June 18th, 1815, between the First French Empire (of Napoleon Bonaparte) and the Alliance of the Seventh Coalition.
On a hill is a statue of a lion ("La Butte du Lion") which can be viewed up close if you are willing to climb 226 stairs, on the bottom of the hill is a little museum, and there is a tour through the old battlefields, where they'll show several things from the battle and the headquarter of the Duke of Wellington and explain about the battlefields, which are now fields used by farmers.
