The Lion of Waterloo (French: Butte du Lion) is a memorial for the Battle of Waterloo (18 June 1815). Actually it is not in Waterloo but in Mont-Saint-Jean.

This symbol of the terrible Battle of Waterloo dominates the spot where the Allies defeated Napoleon's troops. The famous lion still roars towards France from a height of 40 meters.
You can climb the 226 steps and get an overview of the battlefield at that time.
Historical plays are often performed.

Beautiful environment. In the special round building (The Panorama) at the foot of the monument you can visit the large panoramic painting that reflects the battlefield.

You can eat or drink something in the brasserie or on the pleasant terrace.
