CHARLEROI COMMUNAL CEMETERY Belgium

CHARLEROI COMMUNAL CEMETERY is located midway between Mons (37 Km) and Namur (40 Km) on the N90.

On reaching Charleroi from Mons the cemetery is located from the ring (R9) following the direction of Mons A54. After 2 Km follow direction Lodelinsart. Turn left onto the N 569 then left again after 50 metres onto the Rue de Loakelinsart. 500 metres along this road turn right onto the Rue P. Paulus (U turn). Take the first right hand turning (still called the Rue P. Paulus), then turn left onto Rue Cayauderie, then take the second right turning onto Rue Betleem, followed by the first right hand turning onto Rue de Preseytere. The CHARLEROI COMMUNAL CEMETERY is located 50 metres further.
