End of the trip at this villa in Vitry en Artois

A remarkable story about the Canadian trenches concerns the preparations for the attack on Vimy Ridge in April 1917. The Canadian divisions used an underground quarry and created additional corridors towards the front. These tunnels and trenches played a crucial role in the success of the attack, with the Canadians managing to retake the strategically important ridge in just three days.

To see beautiful memories

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.

Excellent circuit in the Florimond woods for those looking for a few speed sensations. To prolong the experience, the slag heaps 230 and 94 are not far away!

The Hautois woods are a pleasant place for a walk, especially around its pond.

The Montée des Canadiens in Givenchy-en-Gohelle is an unmissable challenge for road cyclists. This climb, located near the Canadian Vimy Memorial, offers a gradual ascent, ideal for cycling enthusiasts. As you climb the hill, you can enjoy a clear landscape of the surrounding plains and a setting steeped in memory, marked by the battles of the First World War.

Did you know that you can be on Canadian territory in Northern France? The Mémorial de Vimy is located between Lens and Arras. An area of 110 hectares that France lent to Canada shortly after WWI. It is the place where Canadian troops reclaimed a ridge from the Germans in 1917. An unexpected and spectacular victory. But also a precious one. Because in 3 days 3,600 Canadians died and 7,000 men were injured.
