Apart from these precious sixteenth-century items you will also have access to many halls with warheads and cloisters. In Brou’s Royal Monastery you will feel special inner peace and joy, particularly during your contemplative walks in the large gardens around the monastery.

It will take you approximately half a day to explore the treasures hidden in the Monastery which was built on order of Margaret of Austria. She asked the greatest French and Flemish artists and project managers to take care of the project. Among them, there were involved sculptors like Conrad Meyt, painters like Jean Van Rome, architects like Loys van Boghem, and many more central figures of the time. The monastery was initially meant as a graveyard and sanctuary for the mother of Margaret of Austria, Philibert II the Handsome, and Margaret of Austria itself.

The construction took twenty-six years, from 1506 to 1532. Minutes away from the city center, you will find the widely-extended Bouvent Amusement Park. Its fifty-six hectares are covered in golf courses, hiking trails, playgrounds, water facilities, fishing areas and paddling pools, all in safety. Outdoor activities are also at disposal for anybody, regardless of age. Le Carré d’eau also guarantees quality time with your family.

There are slides, a variety of pools, artificial rivers, but also a cardio room, a spa, beaches and green terraces, a bar, and many sport fields.
