An experience for fans of History and beautiful landscapes - An excellent visit, with Eric. I wanted to know a little bit about these battles that we talk about all the time but don't really know. In particular, I wanted to know why Blucher wasn't beaten so well at Ligny, and seeing the battlefields with my own eyes was a unique experience. Thanks again to Guide!
