Travel Tips for Canadians:

Visiting The Great War Sites

of Flanders and Vimy Ridge

 

  
   
           
  I receive many emails from those wishing to visit the Ieper (Ypres) area and Vimy Ridge. For many, there is a need for more information concerning transportation, accommodations, timing and general directions.

In writing this guide, it is my hope that I may help out with many of these questions and concerns.

Hi John,

. . .  My wife and I had a fantastic trip to France with the hi-lite
being our time in Vimy, then going over to Ieper.  I can't thank you
enough for the information you put together, we followed your
suggestions 100%, my wife was most impressed as it is the first time I
have ever used the computer to plan out a trip.

My trip only added to my interest of Vimy, and World War One, and I
truly hope to once again return some day.

Thanks ever so much John, without your encouraging words, and endless
information, I may never have experienced the trip in the same
way......your endless dedication to your website and ongoing efforts for
more Canadians to better understand what sacrifices were made in the
past is indeed most honourable.

All the best,
Norm Brennand
