The City

Louvain-la-Neuve is a new town, as its name suggests. In the late 1960s there was growing political unrest between Flemish and French speakers at the University of Leuven (in the Flemish sector of Belgium). French-speaking students and faculty decided to move to French-speaking Belgium, and settled in a wooded area south of Brussels. Construction of Louvain-la-Neuve began in 1971 and the university and town have continued to expand. It is definitely a student-friendly environment and has a vibrant cultural life!
