Reisroute
Stoppen bij: Ferme d’Hougoumont, Chemin du Goumont 1, Braine-l'Alleud 1420, België Ontdek het strategisch belang van Hougoumont in Wellingtons verdedigingslinies en krijg inzicht in de hevige strijd die daar op 18 juni 1815 plaatsvond. Leer over de troepen die de versterkte boerderij verdedigen en aanvallen, evenals de dramatische gebeurtenissen die zich gedurende de dag hebben afgespeeld.
De Leeuwenheuvel, die hoog boven het voormalige slagveld uitsteekt, dient als eerbetoon aan de overwinning van de geallieerden op de keizerlijke troepen van Napoleon. Boven op de 40 meter hoge heuvel lijkt de majestueuze leeuw tot op de dag van vandaag uitdagend richting Frankrijk te brullen. De boerderij was zwaar versterkt en werd het middelpunt van intense gevechten tijdens de strijd. Napoleon zag het als een zwak punt in Wellingtons verdediging en lanceerde herhaalde aanvallen, maar Britse en geallieerde troepen, waaronder de Coldstream Guards en Nassau troepen, verdedigden het met succes. De felle strijd bij Hougoumont was de sleutel tot Wellingtons overwinning, omdat het aanzienlijke Franse troepen samenbond en hun algehele aanval verzwakte. Vandaag de dag wordt de boerderij van Hougoumont bewaard als onderdeel van het Waterloo Battlefield Memorial, waardoor bezoekers een kijkje kunnen nemen in een van de meest beslissende momenten in de Europese geschiedenis.
La Bachée B&B, geëerd met een 2-épis rating voor zijn kwaliteit, ligt in het charmante dorpje Plancenoît, op slechts een steenworp afstand van het historische slagveld Waterloo. Deze prachtige boerderij uit 1721, een mooi voorbeeld van Brabantse architectuur, biedt de perfecte mix van ecotoerisme en culturele verkenning
De keizer stopte bij Ferme du Caillou, dat later bekend zou staan als het Laatste Hoofdkwartier van Napoleon. Omringd door zijn Generale Staf bracht hij de nacht van 17 op 18 juni 1815 door onder de waakzame bewaking van de Keizerlijke Garde. Het was binnen deze muren dat de definitieve gevechtsplannen werden bedacht.

the pick up was on time, the car was excellent (could have done with some water available - minor point) Henri our guide was absolutely brilliant and his knowledge was incredible - both about the region and then about the build up to the battle and on the battle itself - nothing was too much trouble despite hordes of questions - highly recommended

Dirk was our guide. He provided a lot of historical facts while walking thru the various sites forming a great base for the excursion. Prepare to walk a lot and if you so choose, which we did, there are 226 steps to the top of Lion's Mound. A MUST.... Great view of the surrounding countryside. Definitely make time for the panorama. There is so much to see and learn about Napoleon and the battle of Waterloo. Enjoy!

Nice place, we had a problem going in the farm. there were a few brits blacking the doors we asked if we can come in but they declined. so we gave them the old 1800 treatment and tested presented and fired. They retried back into the farm. All in all grate place but needs better customer support

The Waterloo tour brought the famous battle to life, standing where Napoleon fought was surreal. Climbing the Lions Hill gave us stunning views, and our guide’s stories made everything so vivid.

I only wanted to go up to the lion's mound but everything is closed off. You have to go through the museum and buy a ticket for 23€ which allows you to visit the entire memorial museum, panorama, mini train. The price is correct for everything but it's a shame that you can't choose what you want to do. In addition, dogs are prohibited so we cannot visit anything.

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.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. We always strive to improve our products and services, so we'll consider your customer feedback. Best Regards , Julien
