Vimy Ridge to pay respects

Not sure exactly where Vimy Ridge is, but go to viamichelin.com and input Paris and a town close to Vimy Ridge and it will give you the driving time.

Vimy is definitely do-able as a day trip but, realistically, only by car. It's about a 2 hour drive, the same as the train, but you can get there earlier by car and leave later. As well, the Vimy site itself is a couple of kilometers outside the town. It's a very impressive site, and well worth a day from Paris. With a car, you could also visit several other nearby First World War sites famous to Canadians.

I haven't been Stew, but my hubby and son went last year, they had just come over from UK on a car ferry, went to Vimy then continued onto Paris same day. He seems to recall drive was closer to three hours.

He thought if was a memorable site(s) and both he and my teenage son consider it worth the small detour they had to make to go there.

Check out some tour companies to see if they do daytrips there, unfortunately I don't hold high hopes on that one though, its the American D Day Beaches that most tours go to ,, but check anyways.
I would just google " Vimy Ridge tours" and see what comes up online. Good luck.

Thanks all.
I will eventually get there some day. I heard it is a bit out of the way.
I seen once on TV that there is this elderly lone man at the train station who enjoys helping Canadians find their way to that site.
I heard during the war the Canadians even built a subway system under the ridge.
My grandfather survived that war from the gassing to the Spanish flu.
