At dawn on the 15th of June 1815, Napoleon and his troops passed in front of the Ferme de la Cour. It is the former principal farm of Lobbes Abbey, and is made up of different successive constructions, including a 14th-century tower keep, a remnant of the abbey’s former medieval court of justice. Today, the farm is home to the Biercée Distillery, which you can visit. The famous Eau de Villée is produced here, as well as the equally famous Mandarine Napoleon. As well as “eaux-de-vie”, the distillery also produces local liqueurs, gins and aperitifs.
