Tips

October 9, 2023

Hiking

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

Hiking

Wellington chose this place to defend Brussels. Thanks to the relief with its successive ridges, his troops had a place to hide here and the enemy had to climb up with every attack.

Hiking

It was at this road that the Imperial Guard, the elite battalion of the French army, launched the attack shortly after 7:30 PM. However, shelling from the Allied infantry and artillery forced the Imperial Guard to retreat, which heralded the beginning of the withdrawal of the rest of the French army. Around 8 p.m., Wellington advanced his troops and achieved victory.
