Over deze activiteit

Take an unforgettable day trip from Paris to the Somme battlefields where the bloodiest battles of World War I were fought. The guide will help you learn about the Great War and the struggles faced in the trenches as you walk on the still scarred battlegrounds of the Somme.

Highlights of the tour:

A full-day adventure in the Somme region: Get away from the busy city of Paris for a day and explore something unique to World history at the same time.

The Lochnagar Crater: The Royal Engineer tunneling companies used almost 30 tons of explosives to obliterate German dug-outs and create this massive crater.

Walk in the trenches of WWI: At the Newfoundland Memorial in Beaumont-Hamel, you will be able to walk in the same trenches as the Canadian soldiers who fought to defend that front 100 years ago.

Thiepval Memorial of the Missing: Pay your respects to the brave men in the row after row of tombs marked: “Here lies a soldier known only to God”.

Museum Sir John Monash Centre: you'll be able to visit the brand new John Monash Centre.

Cathedral of Amiens: On the drive back to Paris your day of discovery will include a visit to the 13th Century Cathedral of Amiens, the largest and one of the most beautiful Cathedrals in France.

Learn about The Great War from an informative guide: Being experts in WWI history and very passionate storytellers makes guides true assets to each tour provide!

This tour was better than I expected. The guide, Ollie, was very interesting and shared the moving history of the Somme battles in a detailed yet easy to remember way. I am glad I did this tour. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the trip. I highly recommend doing this tour. Tip: Remember to wear sunscreen. I forgot mine but luckily Ollie had some to share as we were outside for most of the day.

This was a very moving tour to take. I am so glad that I visited these sites and paid tribute to the great sacrifice that these young men made for freedom. The guide was excellent, the sites we visited were interesting, the memorials were tear jerkers, and the whole day was full of great moments that I will never forget! I highly recommend booking this small group tour. If you have Ollie as your guide you are 100 sure to love the experience.
