Tribute to the combatants of the two Great Wars

Highlight • Other

Monument to the dead of Neuville-Saint-Vaast during the two world wars. The village was evacuated at the start of the Great War, destroyed by the fighting of 1915. The village was completely rebuilt after the war, hence its motto Resurgam and its coat of arms with the phoenix. The reconstruction was completed in the 1930s.

Canadian Memorial

Highlight • Other

In April 1917, the Canadians attack the German army, which was standing by on the Vimy ridge, and win the battle. But this victory came at a high price: more than 10,000 killed and wounded on the Canadian side. As a tribute to all these soldiers, a huge memorial has been erected, consisting of about twenty statues, and 2 immense white towers with a height of 27 meters, which took 11 years to build. The "maple leaf" is applied to one, and a fleur de lis to the other, as a symbol of solidarity between Canada and France.

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial in Pas-de-Calais is today the largest national Canadian memorial site abroad. On site you can see that the underground facilities and trenches are still intact.

The Vimy ridge offers a magnificent panorama of the mining area and the hills of the Artois region.
