In this project, we focus on a sample of radio-loud quasars at z>3.5 with deep VLT/MUSE data. We study the properties of their circumgalactic medium and closest environments, by inspecting for the presence of Lyman Alpha Halos and close-by Lyman Alpha Emitters. We will compare such results with what is observed in quasars with no strong radio emission (radio-quiet).
