We will be travelling to Paris and want to go to Vimy Ridge. We will be going by train and want to get as close as we can to the statue. We heard there could be a long walk to get there. Could you tell us the best way to get there as walking is a bit of a problem. Thank you for your help.

There have not been many posts on this exact question. Here's one by one of our long time Canadian regulars: http://www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/helpline/index.cfm/rurl/topic/25738/is-this-feasible.html Note his advice re taking a cab from the train station to the monument. Perhaps you could send Norm a Private Message, to get more info?

Noreen, google: Vimy Ridge - Veterans Affairs Canada and you will find explicit instructions on how to get there, including schedule & fare for the shuttle bus to and from the site.
