The infantry demonstrations will be performed by the 8^th Demi-brigade de ligne and the 2^nd Régiment de Chasseurs; the artillery demonstrations by the 6^th Régiment d'artillerie; and the cavalry demonstrations by the 2^nd Régiment de Dragons. These enthusiasts are involved in many Napoleonic-era re-enactments throughout Europe every year. The soldiers come with their own uniforms and military equipment and the infantry regiments will spend the night in the bivouacs on site.

           

At the end of the demonstrations, the troops will be delighted to answer your questions and share their passion for history in the outstandingly well-preserved setting of Waterloo Battlefield. These enthusiasts are brimming with stories about the Battle of Waterloo and the life of the troops.  Their work keeps our past alive in the collective conscience, giving young and old the chance to have fun and learn about History in a hands-on way.

                                        

The final aspect of the visit is the Battlefield Tour on an off-road truck, giving you a lively commentary on the way the battle unfolded.
