210th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo Tickets

On June 18, 1815, in Waterloo, Napoleon made his final gamble in a battle that forever marked history. With his army, he attempted a bold maneuver: to defeat Wellington and Blücher's forces separately before the coalition could launch its offensive. For over 10 hours, 180,000 men clashed to change the fate of Europe.

To commemorate the 210th anniversary of this significant event, join us on June 28 and 29 for two spectacular reenactments of the battle, featuring over 2,000 soldiers in uniform, 100 horses, and 25 cannons. Feel the intensity of the combat and immerse yourself in history.
