brigitte was a wonderful guide. She had interesting stories at every one of the sites. She is enthusiastic and personable. She took us to eat really good food. Above all, she was flexible and changed the itinerary according to our wishes. We recommend her highly to anyone doing a battlefield tour. Zeev and Hana.

Our 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!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you Maureen and Val I spent a great day with you both too!

Our 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.

Thank you so much for your comments and all the best for the future! Brigitte
