Highlights

Pick up at your hotel will be around 7 am for this 13 hours excursion in our comfy Mercedes minivan. An unforgettable trip to the Somme battlefields to honor those young heroes who fought and died so far away from home. There are no less than 400 WW1 Commonwealth War Graves Cemeteries in the Somme county. The Battle of the Somme took place from July to November 1916 and was one of the bloodiest conflicts in history, with over one million soldiers killed or wounded. Today, the area is a place of remembrance, marked by cemeteries, memorials, and preserved trenches. Visitors can explore sites such as Albert Town, Lochnagar crater, Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland site and its trenches, Thiepval British Memorial, Pozières ridge and Villers-Bretonneux Australian memorial, all of which honor the soldiers who fought and died there.

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
