The Canadian Vimy Memorial dominates the surrounding area with its two white towers. Nearby, in Thélus, the Canadian cemetery and the monument in honor of the Canadian artillery are installed at Zivy Crater on the site of the crater dug by the explosion of a mine.

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial (Vimy, Pas-de-Calais department) is a memorial dedicated to those who were missing or killed in World War I in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The monument is located on the site of a well-preserved or partially reconstructed battlefield, including trenches and tunnels. Guided tours are offered in French and English, there are several memorials, a permanent and a temporary exhibition, a museum shop and a marked hiking trail that conveys the history of the site.
