Cần Quan Tâm
Arras
Arras is blessed with a very rich architectural heritage as its two Flemish Baroque style squares : « La Place des Heroes » and « La Grand Place » will confirm. It is also a place full of history going from Roman times and across the centuries. During the hour long visit the guide will tell you some of its story walking along its paved street
Cimetiere du Cabaret Rouge
Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery was established near the site of a small café called Cabaret Rouge used by soldiers in the early days of the First World war. It contains 7,655 Commonwealth burials from WWI from 100 other cemeteries and WWII. On the 25th of May 2000, the CWGC exhumed the remains of an unidentified Canadian Soldier. His ashes were returned to Canada and laid to rest at the foot of the National War Memorial in Ottawa.

5.00Brigitte our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful and took us to places we did not expect to see as well as the very imposing Vimy Ridge monument. We toured the tunnels, and some war cemeteries , Canadian, British, and German. Highly recommended for all.

5.00Our guide, Brigette, was able to set the scene for our full day that culminated at the Canadian Memorial at Vimy Ridge. The morning was spent visiting the vast cemeteries (German, Commonwealth, French), a quirky museum of artifacts, and a charming lunch stop. Thank you!
A Great Day Touring with fellow Canadians through Vimy and Arras area.

5.00Brigette gave us a fantastic tour. She is incredibly knowledgeable about WW1. She made the tour very enjoyable to all. There were two groups of people together. My husband and I plus three gentlemen (3 generations). The youngest in our group was 13 and we ranged up to 65. She did a great job of keeping everyone engaged during the tour. Thank you Brigette.
Vimy Ridge and the battle of Arras

5.00Our guide Brigitte had an amazing knowledge and love for the area. This tour is not as simple as go to Vimy, go to Cabaret Rouge, Brigitte did her best to explain the relationship of the Canadians to the town of Arras and help understand that the Vimy was one part of the years long battle for the town of Arras. The tour was rounded off with a visit to a private museum (4 euros per person- bring cash). And the largest French necropolis where there is of all things a traditional French restaurant where lunch reservations were made. (Again at your cost, but a chance to devour food and process what you’ve seen so far). The final stop of the day was Vimy, and it did not disappoint, it was definitely worth the pilgrimage.
