What To Expect
It takes about 20 minutes to get to the Vimy site. We have 1 car and can take up to 4 passagers. At the Canada National Vimy Memorial, you will see: - the new interpretation centre, underground Grange tunnel, and restored trenches. - Canadian Cemetery N°2 and Givenchy Road Canadian Cemetery. - the Moroccan Division Memorial. - the Monument. The memorial at Vimy is Canada’s largest war memorial. It is dedicated to the memory of the 66,000 Canadians who died during the First World War. Canadian sculptor and architect Walter Seymour Allward captured the emotion of a nation faced with the sacrifice of its fellow citizens, as well as Canada’s deeply held values of peace and freedom. The memorial site is on land given to Canada in thanks by the people of France. It offers an impressive view overlooking the plain of Artois. During the Great War, in France, in the north-Pas-de-Calais, at Vimy, near Arras, Canada was recognized by this battle as a free and Independant nation. Dedicated to peace and remembrance, the Canadian Vimy Memorial, the most prestigious Canadian monument in Europe, was erected to commemorate this hard battle of the trenches, to celebrate the birth of the Canadian nation and to ensure that this great War is the last. There are English and French speaking guides in the interpretation centre. The rest of your visit to the site is self-guided.

5.00Michel picked us at our hotel and drove us to Vimy Ridge in the morning and Beaumont Hamel in the afternoon. He spoke very good English and when he spoke French, he spoke slowly enough that we understood him pretty well. He let us practice our tres rusty French on him. Michel provided a lot of information about local sights and history. He was able to locate the cemetery where my wife’s great uncle was buried. All in all, we were very satisfied with the day’s outing.
Above & Beyond

5.00Michelle was not just a driver. He has a wealth of knowledge about VIMY, the surrounding cemeteries, and so much more. On our way back we went a different way to see another village. My partners hip was bad and he was willing to come back to drive him to the monument. He found a lift there on site. But Michelle was willing to go above and beyond. If I could give him a 10 we would. Thanks again so very much from the Nova Scotia clan. ❤️
Well worth it!

5.00Michel is an excellent driver and guide. He kept us updated to confirm our meeting place and time. He was flexible with our pick up point at the end of the Vimy tour. He is a wealth of knowledge and information about the history of the area and the towns. He even followed up with a message providing more information on the importance of Vimy in WW1.
Great tour with a professional driver and guide.

5.00Super convenient. Michel met us at the Arras train station, drove us to Vimy where we had the right amount of time to wander around to experience it and then picked us up and took us back to Arras (with a couple of cemetery visits along the way) in time for the train back to Paris.

3.00I question the value of transportation verses the cost. Very knowledgeable. Expected more than just transportation. Our walking of Vimy on our own makes your heart ache for the loss of life that allowed us our freedom in Canada
Lest we forget.

5.00Our driver/guide Michel was excellent—picked us up right on time and advised us as to what to do and what to see upon arrival at the Vimy Ridge Memorial. We took different routes to and from our destination. Michel provided a historical perspective as well as insight into the ongoing ties between Canada and France. We visited Commonwealth cemeteries and noted difference amongst the resting places of Commonwealth/French/German soldiers. Merci beaucoup, Michel!
