The map
About this Braine-l'Alleud map poster
Braine-l'Alleud lies in Walloon Brabant, south of Brussels, where the gently rolling countryside of central Belgium gives way to commuter towns. The street plan grew outward from an old centre, with no strict grid. Residential roads curve over the low hills, and a railway line cuts a firm diagonal through the town, linking it to the capital.
Much of the Waterloo battlefield of 1815 lies within the municipality, including the Lion's Mound. This artificial hill was raised in the 1820s and is topped by a cast-iron lion. On a map it appears as a small, perfectly round form among open fields. Nearby is the farm of Hougoumont, another landmark of the battle.
A Braine-l'Alleud map poster balances two very different textures. On one side is the dense, curving mesh of a modern Belgian town, and on the other the open, lightly drawn farmland where one of Europe's most famous battles was fought. The rail line and main roads connect the two across the sheet.

Railway diagonal
The line toward Brussels slices across the street pattern at an angle, one of the strongest single strokes on the poster.
Rolling suburbs
Residential streets loop and bend over the gentle Brabant hills, forming a soft, organic pattern around the older centre.

Why Braine-l'Alleud
A map that means something
Some people hang this map because they live in or grew up in Braine-l'Alleud. Others are interested in Waterloo and want the battlefield shown in its real setting, next to the town that surrounds it today.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be changed, so you could mark 1815 or a date of your own. It comes in five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Paper gives the battlefield setting a quieter, archival look.
