Chateau de la Hulpe

Chateau de la Hulpe
Today we travelled to Chateau de la Hulpe, firstly by tram, then train, and finally a pied (walking) for around 40 minutes.

This chateau is not open to the public except by appointment, but we were happy enough to wander around the grounds.  The chateau has been used in a number of movies, including The Music Master,  and is also a popular wedding venue, as you can imagine.

It was another nostalgia trip, as we took the boys there regularly when they were small, for walks, picnics, and general adventure.  Pierre always challenged himself by climbing up the hillsides, which no doubt appeared as mountains to him at the age of six.

Another big walk back to the train and tram, and we were tired by the time we returned to the flat.

Tomorrow, Waterloo with Laura and Daniel ....
