A LITTLE CITY TOUR IN WATERLOO

For once I have some pictures of my town, which I took out of my car. The sun was shining and there were a lot of people walking in the woods and parks.

One real Christmas tree was in the second center of Waterloo. Waterloo is very long and is located along the chaussee de Waterloo/Brussels.The first center coming from Brussels would be at the church.

This is The European School of Brussels-Argenteuil  a private, school located on the grounds of the Château d'Argenteuil, in Waterloo, 15 km south of Brussels, Belgium.

The Music Chapel of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium. The origins of the Music Chapel rest on two strong personalities: Queen Elisabeth, a violinist keen to help young talents, and Eugène Ysaÿe, one of the greatest violinists and composers of his time. Both wanted to support emerging artists through a highly specialized school and an international competition. The competition has been renowned from the start and was to become the Queen Elisabeth Competition. The Music Chapel was inaugurated on 11 July 1939. It is famous for teaching exceptionally talented young musicians.

Fortunately there are still some fields and woods around Waterloo, lot of these have disappeared and houses were built ! When we  moved to Waterloo in 1975, it was a village !

Chateau d'Argenteuil, once occupied by Leopold III King of Belgium with his second wife and children.

It belonged to the State and is on sale by now ! You can only see it from far.

 and when I came home, I took this picture through my kitchen window !
