VILLERS BRETONNEUX

This is a tailor-made tour. Before the date of your tour, your guide will research your relative(s) and take you to the relevant sites on the day. This could include the battlefields of Bullecourt, Poziere, Dernancourt, Le Hamel, Villers-Bretonneux, etc.. or indeed anywhere in the counties of Somme or Pas-de-Calais and in the fields! All you have to do is to give the details of your relative a month before the date of your visit.

This is a living history visit of events that took place in the 20th century There is so much preserved here, that we could imagine that these battles happened yesterday. There is nothing "tacky" here. There is a tremendous sense of honour and respect. On certain days there is a nearby steam railway, constructed to carry troops and war materials during the First World War. The circuit of remembrance is in beautiful, rural countryside. There are specific circuits, depending on your nationality. Villers-Bretonneux has four Australian sites to visit, Your guide has lived and worked on The Somme for a little over 30 years.
