It is located right in the center of Louvain-la-Neuve, between the Place de l'Université and the Bois de Lauzelle, to which it is connected by a long path. Although it is a small green space compared to the adjacent forest, it is home to many species of plants and animals.

Dedicated to the work and life of the Belgian draftsman and illustrator Hergé (pseudonym of Georges Prosper Remi). Hergé must be probably the most famous Belgian cartoonist, and one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is the spiritual father of Tintin and Snowy, Quick and Flupke, ...
The building itself also deserves a mention. Architect Christian de Portzamparc translated Hergé's well-known drawing style into light forms and great clarity in the walls, windows, vistas and walkways.

Yves du Monceau statue bench

Highlight • Monument

Yves du Monceau de Bergendal, mayor of Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve from 1958 to 1988, now welcomes your confidences on the shores of Lake Louvain-la-Neuve, just opposite the Aula Magna. Unless he gives you some ideas for the future of the city?
It was his son Diégo du Monceau who had this “statue-bench” made (by the English sculptor David Williams-Ellis) and offered it to UCLouvain and the City.
Given the context of gradual deconfinement, the inauguration took place in small groups on June 18. In the presence of his wife Countess Rainy du Monceau, aged 94, some representatives of the family, as well as university and municipal authorities.
