Ablain-Saint-Nazaire의 옛 교회 유적은 제1차 세계 대전의 인상적이고 상징적인 유물입니다. 16세기에 Jacques Le Caron이 화려한 고딕 양식으로 지은 이 교회는 1915년 전투 중에 심하게 손상되었습니다. 이 유적은 전쟁의 참상을 기념하는 기념물로 보존되어 있습니다.

A remarkable story about the ruins concerns the decision not to rebuild the church after the war. Although the church had been classified as a historical monument in 1908, the Commission for Historical Monuments decided that the ruins should remain as a testimony to the German destruction. Ironically, it was the French guns that had destroyed the church, but the ruins became a symbol of the war and the reconstruction.

The Vimy Memorial is the most prestigious Canadian monument in Europe. It is located on the very site of the 1917 fighting near Vimy in the Pas-de-Calais region of France. Erected on the highest point of the hill, Hill 145, the objective of the operations that began on April 9, 1917, it overlooks the Douai Plain. In 1921, architect and sculptor Walter S. Allward (1875-1955) won the competition from the Canadian Battlefield Memorials Commission. The significance of the battles at the site and the favorable location at the top of the hill allowed Vimy to receive the most prestigious work.
