Itinerary

  • Vimy

    We will start the tour visiting Vimy ridge, the largest Canadian Memorial on the Western Front which commemorates nearly 11.000 Canadian soldiers who died in France and have no known grave. The capture of Vimy ridge was a great victory for the Canadian Corps and today it's one of the best preserved World War One battlefields with its preserved trenches, shell holes, mine craters and tunnels. The new visitors centre will be visited as well as the tunnels (open to the public during the season).

    2 hours

  • Neuville-Saint-Vaast

    The largest war cemetery in France is located at Neuville Saint Vaast, it is the resting place for 44.000 German soldiers who lost their lives in the region during the various battles of Artois.

    20 minutes

  • Grand'Place

    Free time for lunch on this very nice place.

    1 hour

  • The CWGC Visitor Centre

    Visit to this unique new visitor attraction that shines a light on the work of the remarkable organisation at the heart of remembrance of the war dead. The CWGC Experience was awarded the Best Tourism Project in Europe at the 2019 British Guild of Travel Writers’ International Tourism Awards.

    1 hour

  • Mont-Saint-Eloi (Pass By)

    We will pass the abbey of Mont Saint-Eloi, used as an observation post in the battles of Artois.

  • N/A

    The new memorial, called "The Ring of Remembrance" commemorates the 600.000 soldiers from all nations who lost their lives in Northern France during the First World War.

    30 minutes

  • Necropole Nationale Francaise de Notre-Dame de Lorette

    After the First World War, the hill of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette was chosen by the French Government to receive the remains of French soldiers from over 150 cemeteries on the fronts of Artois, Flanders, Yser and the Belgian coast. This site contains 20,000 graves and the remains of 22,000 unknown soldiers. Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is France’s biggest national necropolis.

Amazing day

Published on Aug, 2024

Our family of 7 had an amazing time on this tour and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see the battlefields and history of WWI our tour guide extraordinaire Sylvester was so knowledgeable and took his time to walk us through an amazing day. Truly worth your time. Only downside of our trip was how long our lunch break was at the cottage we would rather spend more time at the vimmy site.

Emotionally the British and French memorial, the Canadian memorials are beautifully kept and the rangers so friendly and interesting. The big craters, searching in newly harvested fields for shrapnel and parts of mortar shells it is a full on day but do so worth it Our guide Sylvestre was so knowledgeable, friendly and met our pace during the day without missing anything !
