Description by the author

Fleurus was often chosen as a battlefield. And that is no coincidence.

With this motor route, you can literally experience why this area was so beloved for settling disputes.

Fleurus is located in the Walloon region of Belgium, an area that historically was a crossroads between Northwestern Europe and Southern Europe, and between various major power blocs such as France, the Habsburg Netherlands (later Austrian Netherlands), and later Belgium.

The area lies close to important trade and military routes. Control over the Ardennes and towards Brussels/Paris:

Because Fleurus is located on the edge of the Ardennes, it serves as a gateway to the hilly countryside and constitutes a logical defense line or passage towards important cities such as Mons, Namur, Brussels, and further towards Paris. Thus, control over this area was militarily crucial.
