      The bivouac at the foot of the Butte du Lion is a historical reconstruction that takes place on the battlefield of Waterloo. It offers visitors the chance to experience the daily life of soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars.

      During this activity, visitors can interact with a fusilier or grenadier of the line. They get an idea of how weapons are handled and discover the daily life of the soldiers. All this takes place at the foot of the Butte du Lion, which adds to the historic atmosphere.

      There are also other activities such as cannon fire, during which the different loading phases are presented and blanks are shot. There is also a presentation on the medical techniques used during the Empire and how the wounded on the battlefield were helped.
