We even have a cinema
A music Academy
and an Exposition hall which is called "Les écuries" (the stables)
it is surrounded by a beautiful park.
a little more outside is another park to walk around
For the British inhabitants there is a store with only British products.
There are lots of restaurants in Waterloo
and an Office park
Every two years after the re-enactment of the battle, the streets of Waterloo look like this !

ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
And the link looks delightful too... To tours of other cities. Cool idea. Somewhat similar to Daily Photos From One's City. Or whatever that blog, is called now.

I would love to visit Waterloo one day :) Some friends of mine recently visited for the Battle of Waterloo and they all said they had an amazing time! I'm a historical re-enactor from that period as well and I think it would be great to visit in costume one day and sort of relive that time.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and thank you for sharing your city with us :)
A beautiful and interesting place to live. I love the hanging baskets, they are so pretty.
