Walk of Ligny 1815





Follow in the footsteps of the armies of 1815 in Ligny, the site of Napoleon I's final victory. It was on June 16, 1815, two days before the Battle of Waterloo. This fierce battle pitted the French, commanded by Napoleon I, against the Prussians led by Blücher. From several exceptional vantage points, you will understand the course of operations in and around the village: the French movements from Fleurus, the occupation of the village by the Prussians, and their retreat routes. This historical and signposted walk is offered by the Ligny Tourist Office and the non-profit organization "Les Amis de Ligny." It highlights all the military heritage present in the heart of the village. You will also discover the gentle Ligne Valley and the habitat of the Hesbaye region of Namur. Enjoy your journey through history!
