On the top of the Iron Lion Mountain in Waterloo, a 28-ton iron lion sits on the base, with an iron ball stepped on its right paw, looking at the direction of Paris, majestic and slightly sad. It is said that the iron lion was cast from scrap iron of weapons left on the battlefield. The battle lasted less than 24 hours, with 31,000 casualties of the French army and 24,000 casualties of coalition soldiers. The Duke of Wellington later described the Battle of Waterloo as "the most unpredictable event in his life".

You will be exhausted if you arrive at the top but the view is amazing! The museum is super modern, with HD screens, movies, game you can play for me not necessary to climb the monument. What a shame to pay 18€ for this just to climb the lion
