   Why is it called La Louvière?

   • The name La Louvière derives from the Old French word Menaulu (meigne au leu), meaning “Wolf’s Lair”, and might have something to do with the high number of wolves living in what was then forest in Medieval times. Still, a name like La Louvière fires the imagination and at some point led to a Rome-like legend of a wolf nursing a human child.
