Very
interesting
and
important
historical
place
with
very
well
arranged
museum
dedicated
to
Napoleon's
last
battle
-
here
you
can
find
not
just
very
detail
information
about
the
battle
itself,
but
also
information
about
what
was
happening
before
(all
the
way
from
French
revolution)
and
after
(brief
feedbacks
and
information)
Napoleon's
defeat.
Many
historical
items
and
souvenier
shop
can
be
found
in
museum
building,
where
is
recommended
to
use
a
headphones
for
prepared
presentations
in
order
to
better
understand
the
events
from
battle
itself
and
French
history
around
that
time.
The
concrete
visual
Waterloo
battle
you
can
experience
through
short
movie
with
3D
effect
(you
will
have
to
use
an
enclosed
3D
glasses
for
that)
in
special
room
although
I
did
not
find
it
so
interesting
as
I
was
missing
the
more
strategic
and
tactical
showing
of
the
battle,
and
at
the
same
time
there
were
many
details
of
the
battle
also
missing,
which
in
fact
are
very
important
components
in
order
to
better
understand
the
battle
and
final
outcome
-
the
other
parts
of
museum
are
much
more
interesting
in
that
way,
so
if
you
will
miss
the
movie,
you
will
not
miss
too
much.
In
any
case
as
result
of
the
battle
there
was
around
50.000
men
dead
or
wounded,
and
around
20.000
horses
lied
on
the
battle
ground,
so
the
casultoes
were
high
on
both
sides.
When
you
walk
up
to
the
40
m
high
Lion's
Mound
(Lion's
hill
or
Butte
de
Lion)
you
can
see
the
battefield
itself
and
imagine
the
ongoing
of
the
battle
...
hmmmmm
...
and
with
visiting
the
main
and
most
important
battle
points
(e.g.
Hougoumont
farm,
attack
of
French
cavalry
point,
or
La
Haye
Sainte
farm),
your
impression
of
battle
could
be
even
more
genuine.
Furthermore,
you
can
come
to
the
battlefield
place
at
time
when
the
battle
will
be
reenacted
in
live
by
many
actors
from
around
the
world
(up
to
2.000
actors),
and
in
authentic
costumes
from
that
period
-
the
event
is
taking
place
every
year
around
18
June,
on
the
day
the
original
battle
was
fought.
In
overal
great
experiences
and
very
well
arranged
museum
with
many
information
about
battle,
armies
and
overal
happening
before
and
after
battle.
Toilets
are
at
the
museum
area
and
access
for
people
with
disabilities
is
somehow
secured
(with
some
examptions
-
eg
they
can
not
reach
the
Lion's
Mound
top
spot),
but
could
be
arranged
even
better.
Free
parking
places
are
available
in
immediate
vicinity
of
the
battlefield.
