  • 21 23 Rue Flatters, 80000 Amiens, France
  • Somme, France
    This is a circuit of remembrance of the 1916 Battles of The Somme. Because this was a static war, a war of attrition, many sites have been preserved: the largest and deepest mine crater in France, the iconic monument to the missing at Thiepval, the site of the first tank battles on this planet at Flers, the completely intact battlefield at Beaumont-Hamel where we walk, with our licenced guide through the trenches and out onto no-man's-land, we can eat and drink at a café with trenches in the back garden. The beautifully maintained cemeteries (more than 200 on The Somme) . All this whilst passing through beautiful landscapes and pretty villages. For australians ( and of course others) Villers-Bretonneux has four major sites of importance to those whose ancestors served in the ANZAC forces.

We had a wonderful day exploring the Somme battlefields and sights with our guide Michael. It was moving, fascinating and important. Michael crafted a tour with an Australian focus for us and we thoroughly enjoyed his friendly and informative company. We got to see beautiful countryside we wouldn’t otherwise have seen, as well as many significant WWI sights, museums and monuments. The tour was a highlight of our trip.

My guide Michael was knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. He went out of his way to ensure that I had an excellent day and was able to see as much as possible (I only had one day to see the Somme battlefields and the Church in Amiens!).
