📍 About the location

Located 30 km from Brussels in the heart of Walloon Brabant, the site of the University of Louvain-la-Neuve welcomes over 20,000 students in its eleven faculties. Created in 1971 by the university, this city is one of the youngest in Europe. A city in the countryside, it offers an exceptional living environment to students, researchers, professors and inhabitants. Museums, cinemas, theaters, concert and exhibition halls, a swimming pool and sports center, restaurants and cafés, shops and green spaces: all contribute to the quality of its environment. Its entirely pedestrianized urban center allows easy access to all academic buildings and provides an environment where students, researchers, professors and residents meet and form a unique social, cultural and economic fabric.

🎒 Leisure activities

The region offers a wide variety of activities to suit all tastes. Volunteers can enjoy parks and trails for walking, cycling, or hiking, explore natural areas and forests to recharge their batteries, or discover the local heritage with its castles, abbeys, and typical churches. The region also offers a rich cultural life with museums, cultural centers, exhibitions, and artistic events throughout the year. To relax, there are many cafes, restaurants, and leisure venues where you can fully enjoy the local cuisine and atmosphere. The activities are varied and suitable for nature lovers as well as culture and discovery enthusiasts.
