    . Musée Wellington
    A former inn where
    the Duke of Wellington
    spent the night before
    the battle, the museum
    has narrow rooms
    packed with weapons
    and uniforms. There
    are many other curios,
    including plans and
    models of the battle.
    . Butte du Lion
    The bronze figure of a
    lion sits on top of a large
    artificial mound, raised in
    1826 as a battle memo-
    rial. A climb up 226 steps
    rewards visitors with views
    over the battlefield.
