Itinerary

  • Canadian National Vimy Memorial

    The Battle of Arras, April 1917 We start visiting the Vimy Ridge visitor Centre. Depending the attendance, the Grange tunnel visit will be added to explore and discover an hidden side of the trench warfare. Crossing the Canadian line through no man's land, we will walk in the German trench system facing the Canadian positions. And then, we will drive to the Canadian Memorial designed by Walter Seymour Allward and fully refurbished in 2007. Before heading to the Somme sector, we will stop at the Givenchy Road Canadian cemetery.

    2 hours

  • Givenchy Road Canadian Cemetery

    This cemetery contains the graves of 108 Canadians who fell on the 9th of April and on the following days of the battle

    15 minutes

  • Pozieres

    We'll have a lunch break in a local café/restaurant in La Boisselle or Pozières

    45 minutes

  • Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial

    Following the lunch, we will visit the Newfoundland Park of Beaumont-Hamel where the Regiment of Newfoundland suffered the second worst casualty level of a regiment on the first day of the battle of the Somme.

Amazing and insightful.

Published on Nov, 2024

My wife and I took a private WWI tours with Olivier Dirston out of Amien. Olivier has so much knowledge and the GPS imposed onto trench and front line maps from the era was really cool. He has so much information and can answer pretty much any of your questions. The Somme, Vimy memorial, Arras, a museum/restaurant stop for lunch in Pozieres, tank and New Zealander memorials and battlefield for the windmill high ground. Also Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundlander's memorial. We highly recommend this company.

Published on Nov, 2024

Olivier was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area, WW1 participants, troop movements and tactics. Excellent for the person who wishes to know everything there is to know about the Vimy-Arras-Somme battles
