This paper comes from a personal experience during the Bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo, 18th-21st of June 2015. It aims to illustrate the different meanings behind an international commemoration. It looks at how a battlefield landscape became
a historical heritage park between public history
practices and the commercial necessities of tourism
of the past. It describes the different phases of the
reenactment that took place on the battlefield, qualifies the historical mutable meanings of the collective memories of the battle, and how the Bicentenary
moulded a new European oriented interpretation of
the battle during the commemoration. It looks also
more specifically at different ways the United Kingdom and France interpreted the Bicentenary.
