Belle Alliance Farm

Highlight • Historical Site

Before the start of the battle, Napoleon inspected his troops here. A beautiful spectacle must have taken place here. When the battle came to an end, Napoleon surveyed the terrain from here. He hoped to turn the course of the battle with a final offensive. Napoleon ordered his Guards to launch the final attack by attacking Wellington's right flank from here via the land road. However, this turned out to be in vain. Later that evening, with the French defeated and on the run, the two great Allied army commanders, Wellington and Blücher (Prussia), met at this farm.

View of the Lion's Mound at Waterloo

Highlight • Monument

Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo (French: Panorama de la Bataille de Waterloo) is a cylindrical painting 12 meters high and 110 meters long. The painting, created in 1915, shows the Battle of Waterloo. It was painted by Louis-Jules Dumoulin.

The panorama is located near the Lion of Waterloo in Braine-l'Alleud. Since 2015, the panorama has been part of the Mémorial 1815 museum.
The painting is located in a building that can be characterized as a roundabout in terms of architectural style. The raised center of the rotunda and the perspective talent of Louis DuMoulin gives the viewer the feeling that he is looking out at scenes set during the Battle of Waterloo. In addition to the visual aspect, sound effects are played to give the viewer the most realistic experience possible of the battle between the infantry and the cavalry.
In July 2008, the International Panorama Council had the panorama added to Belgium's preliminary proposal for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Panorama

Highlight • Historical Site

The Panorama is a huge round building that houses the canvas created in 1912 by Louis Dumoulin, painter whose Panorama of the World tour was presented at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris.

Its exceptional dimensions and sound system allow for total immersion in the heart of the battle. You are surrounded on all sides by battle scenes, sounds of sabers, cavalry charges and cannon fire.

This panorama is a remarkable historical heritage, as it is one of the few that still survives.

The English lines

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you are on the hill road that Wellington's troops controlled. The view is nothing like the deathly plain that Victor Hugo described.
