   In this tour we will visit the «Canadian National Vimy Memorial» and the battlefield on which it stands. Walk in the trenches, use one of the tunnels dug before the battle and see what happened here between the 9th and 12th of April 1917.

It is on this ground that the Canadians suffered their worst casualties in France, with a staggering 24,000 casualties during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette.
