The Farm of La-Belle-Alliance, named after the "Belle Alliance" between the mistress of the house and a farmhand, is the geographic centre of the French line. It was at this farm that Blücher and Wellington met after the battle. The Prussians wanted to call the battle of Waterloo "the Battle of La Belle-Alliance" but Wellington favored the more English sounding "Battle of Waterloo."
