Itinéraire
Nous commencerons la visite par la visite de la crête de Vimy, le plus grand mémorial canadien sur le front occidental qui commémore près de 11 000 soldats canadiens morts en France et sans sépulture connue. La capture de la crête de Vimy a été une grande victoire pour le Corps canadien et c'est aujourd'hui l'un des champs de bataille de la Première Guerre mondiale les mieux préservés avec ses tranchées, ses trous d'obus, ses cratères et ses tunnels. Le nouveau centre d'accueil sera visité ainsi que les tunnels (ouverts au public en saison).
Le plus grand cimetière de guerre de France est situé à Neuville Saint Vaast, c'est le lieu de repos de 44.000 soldats allemands qui ont perdu la vie dans la région lors des différentes batailles d'Artois.
Temps libre pour déjeuner sur ce très bel endroit.
Visite de cette nouvelle attraction touristique unique qui met en lumière le travail de l'organisation remarquable au cœur du souvenir des morts de guerre. L’expérience CWGC a reçu le prix du meilleur projet touristique en Europe lors des prix internationaux du tourisme de la British Guild of Travel Writers 2019.
Nous passerons l'abbaye du Mont Saint-Eloi, utilisée comme poste d'observation dans les batailles d'Artois.
Le nouveau mémorial, appelé "L'anneau du souvenir" commémore les 600 000 soldats de toutes les nations qui ont perdu la vie dans le nord de la France pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Après la Première Guerre mondiale, la colline de Notre-Dame-de-Lorette a été choisie par le gouvernement français pour recevoir les restes de soldats français de plus de 150 cimetières sur les fronts de l'Artois, de la Flandre, de l'Yser et de la côte belge. Ce site contient 20 000 tombes et les restes de 22 000 soldats inconnus. Notre-Dame-de-Lorette est la plus grande nécropole nationale de France.

His knowledge of the Battle fields and the stories connected to them , was second to none ! Absolutely Fantastic! We value his expertise and knowledge he shared with us . Thank you Babis . Carol and Sandra .
I am back in France for the second time, and I’m remembering this AWESOME private tour. Our guide was the best. Very respectful and knowledgeable. In the trenches, we got the chills.
"Wonderful" place of memory whether it is the memorial or the reconstruction of the trenches with the guided tour supervised by young Canadian students who give their all to express themselves in excellent French and make you the unforgettable visit, Bravo and thank you again to Them.
We wanted a tour of the key battlefield areas of the Somme and the Arras area and to get as full a picture of the historic monuments, graveyards and museums as would be possible in four days without being on a huge coach trip and having the benefit of someone that could highlight the key places we needed to see as well as plotting the most efficient way to see them. Staying in Arras we decided to do two full day tours of both the area around Albert and the underground museum, Arras and the Newfoundland monument as well as Memetz, Vimy Ridge and the Canadian sector. Our guide and tour co-ordinator Sylvestre was beyond amazing. Not only did he arrange a brilliant schedule that included all the above but also many many more interesting and relevant sites, but he was extremely knowledgeable, approachable and flexible allowing us to take in what we were seeing at our own pace and in our own way, sharing knowledge with whoever in the group wanted to know about a particular subject whilst being informal where needed to allow us to browse independently and just take our own time in what were extremely emotional and moving settings. So so much better than being herded around like sheep being spoken at instead of spoken to. I cannot recommend this tour company enough, from the extremely comfortable vehicle, the flexibility of the itinerary to the brilliant personality that was Sylvestre whom made our group sitting in a car for eight hours with a perfect stranger feel within the first hour that you were all a group of friends travelling together. I can honestly say every aspect of this trip was beyond my expectations.
Our guide, Sylvestre, was incredibly flexible and accommodating. He responded to emails very quickly. He was friendly and shared his knowledge of the war and present day France in a very open way. He gave us the time and space we needed to process the powerful feelings that we felt as we visited the memorials and cemeteries.
A very interesting visit on what happened The opportunity to understand what my great grandfather experienced and gave his life for France
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 !
Our guide, Sylvestre, was excellent! He communicated with us the day prior to introduce himself and confirm pick up time/location. He was right on time, and once settled we got on our way. As this was a private tour, he let us set the pace which gave us as much time as we needed at each stop. He provided excellent historical background and was very interesting and helpful in answering our questions. He also took us to areas off the beaten track like an observation post in a farmers field and showed us war ordnance on the side of the road - found by a farmer and awaiting pick-up by local authority. He accommodated our request for a light lunch and joined us as we enjoyed a baguette at a picnic table. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed this tour because of Sylvestre - it was a somber day visiting these memorials and cemeteries of WWI, but he added to our day with his knowledge and expertise. Thank you!
Used Michel of RMB transport. He wasn't very good at responding to my emails but he was very good as a driver and guide. His English is understandable. He has an excellent knowledge of not only Vimy Ridge, but also the surrounding countryside. He showed up on time. For 50 Euros, it was worth it.
