Our offers

Whether you wish to gather your colleagues in an inspiring setting or celebrate an important moment in a meaningful location, our venues provide flexible solutions to make your event a memorable success.

Self-Guided Visit

Discover the Domain of the Battle of Waterloo at Your Own Pace.

Would you like to organize a self-guided visit for your group of more than 20 people?

The self-guided option is the ideal way to explore the entire site at your own pace, according to your interests and schedule.

Your ticket gives access to the iconic locations of the battlefield:

  • Memorial 1815, a modern 2,000 m² museum retracing the 1815 campaign through historical objects, digital installations, and a 4D film.
  • The Panorama, an impressive monumental circular painting that immerses visitors in the heart of the fighting.
  • The Lion’s Mound, offering an exceptional panoramic view of the entire battlefield.
  • Hougoumont Farm, a strategic and highly symbolic site of the fighting on June 18, 1815.

An audioguide can be downloaded directly to your smartphone to enrich your visit. It accompanies visitors throughout the Memorial 1815, providing historical commentary, clear explanations, and fascinating anecdotes to better understand the battle and its significance.

Each member of the group can therefore move at their own pace, explore specific themes in greater depth, and fully enjoy the different areas of the site.

The self-guided visit offers great organizational flexibility:

  • Independent time management
  • Easy movement between the different areas of the Estate
  • The possibility to adapt the visit duration according to your program

This option is particularly well suited for schools, associations, and groups wishing to combine cultural discovery with flexibility.

Guided Visit

A Living Immersion with a Soldier in Uniform

For a more in-depth experience, choose a guided tour led by a soldier in period uniform. Through stories, anecdotes, and well-documented explanations, your guide brings the events of June 18, 1815 back to life and places the battle within its historical and strategic context.

The guided tour can be organized at one of the following sites:

  • Memorial 1815
  • The Panorama and the Lion’s Mound
  • Hougoumont Farm

Each itinerary highlights the key moments of the battle, the military strategies, and the daily life of the soldiers.

You can also enrich your visit with an immersive workshop:

  • Musket firing demonstration
  • Cannon firing demonstration
  • Drill school, with an introduction to period military manoeuvres

These participatory activities offer a hands-on and engaging dimension, particularly appreciated for school outings or team-building activities.
