In evidenza
From the towns of Arras or Albert we head out to the war scarred landscape of this region. The morning will be spent exploring the Battle of the Somme. After lunch we head to Vimy Ridge and the ground over which Canadian troops demonstrated their tenacity and courage during the capture of this strategically important feature. Your experienced guide will tell you the history and how the war unfolded over these sections of the Western Front. We only operate private tours, this will be your tour and adapted as necessary to meet your needs during the time. If you have any special sites, such as areas that involved your relatives, please ask as we are keen to adapt the tour specifically for you. With our years of living and working on these iconic sites we aim to ensure you leave with memories of the sacrifice of a generation. Given suitable notice time and the availability of records we are able to research and prepare a bespoke tour to cover an individual soldier or unit.

About Arras
Arras, in northern France, is known for two grand arcaded squares of Flemish-style gabled houses, a tall belfry and its First World War history.
Arras sits in the chalk country of Artois, in northern France, and has been a centre of trade and cloth since the Middle Ages, when its woven hangings were so celebrated that the word arras came to mean a wall hanging in English. The Grand'Place and the Place des Héros, two linked squares, are lined with arcades and tall gabled houses in the Flemish Baroque style, rebuilt faithfully after the First World War.
Top-ranked sights in Arras: Wellington Quarry (Carrière Wellington).
