Musee de la Ferme d'Hougoumont, Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium Stop At: Ferme d’Hougoumont, Chemin du Goumont 1, Braine-l'Alleud 1420, Belgium
Discover the strategic importance of Hougoumont in Wellington’s defensive lines and gain insight into the fierce battle that took place there on June 18, 1815. Learn about the troops defending and attacking the fortified farmhouse, as well as the dramatic events that unfolded throughout the day. 60 minutes
Butte Du Lion, Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium The Lion's Mound, standing tall over the former battlefield, serves as a tribute to the Allies' victory over Napoleon's imperial forces. Perched atop the 40-meter hill, the majestic lion appears to roar defiantly toward France to this day.
The farm was heavily fortified and became the focal point of intense fighting throughout the battle. Napoleon saw it as a weak point in Wellington’s defenses and launched repeated attacks, but British and allied troops, including the Coldstream Guards and Nassau troops, successfully defended it. The fierce combat at Hougoumont was key to Wellington’s victory, as it tied up significant French forces and weakened their overall assault.
Today, Hougoumont Farm is preserved as part of the Waterloo Battlefield Memorial, offering visitors a glimpse into one of the most decisive moments in European history. 60 minutes
Plancenoit, Plancenoit, Belgium La Bachée B&B, honored with a 2-épis rating for its quality, is nestled in the charming village of Plancenoît, just moments from the historic Waterloo battlefield.

Napoleon's Last Headquarters, Genappe, Belgium The Emperor made a stop at Ferme du Caillou, which would later be known as Napoleon’s Last Headquarters.

The tour guide (Marie) was lovely and provided interesting points about Belgium’s history and other sites as we passed. HOWEVER the price is exorbitant given that the guide does NOT accompany you at the battle site itself (the museum there does not permit it). So you are essentially paying for car service, waters, and a few tidbits of information. Take Ubers and use the audio guide at the museum instead! This is a WASTE of money. It is NOT a private tour.

que mas historia...
En su cinema tendrá la ilusión de estar en el corazón de la batalla.
Subir las escaleras es todo un reto, pero vale el sacrificio.
Sin hablar de su museo.
