         . 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.
