Let yourself be surprised by this former headquarters of the Duke of Wellington, the conqueror of Napoleon. He stayed here on the nights of June 17 and 18, 1815 and wrote his victory communiqué.
Through authentic souvenirs, weapons and engravings, the museum’s 14 rooms retrace the events of the period and perpetuate the memory of the nations and fighters who took part in the confrontation.
Nothing, if not a defeat, is as melancholy as victory.
