    Hiking

    The Colonne Victor Hugo is a memorial on the edge of the Waterloo battlefield, erected in 1911-1912 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the French poet and writer Victor Hugo's stay in Waterloo. Victor Hugo waited 45 years before visiting the site of the battle.

    He arrived in Mont-Saint-Jean on May 7, 1860 and stayed at the Hôtel des Colonnes for two months. There he completed writing Les Misérables. The monument is managed by the province of Brabant Wallon.
