How to save money in French food markets
This is a top pick! ... that by mid June it'd already start getting warm in northern Europe...but no. Our first stop was Arras, a town in northern France which was just beginning to awaken. There were hardly any people in the streets let alone cars, so parking ...
The Somme
This is a top pick! ... opened. Fuck it. We decided to go to Arras first as it's meant to be a nice town. We parked in the main square. This is France but all the buildings were built in a Flemish way. It was weird. As I walked, I saw a familiar face. Here we were in Arras, and ...

The Mission
... is. Joan of Arc also stood in the same cathedral to see Charles VII crowned. After a night there, off to Amiens and then Arras. Hotness, tiredness, etc. kept us from adventuring too far out of Arras, but we discovered Vimy Ridge the next day (missed the ...
Beaumont Hamel
Today we left Dieppe for the battle grounds of the First World War. As we drove we saw many farmers' fields filled with wheat, sugar beets, some cabbage and potatoes. A big part of our day was a visit to Beaumont-Hamel a national historic site with ...
Day Two: Boulougne to Arras (via Hesdin)
... i meekly accepted my fate as a cyclist and took the back roads. Nine bumb numbing hours later I was very happy to get to Arras. Felt like giving it up by lunchtime but the thought of such a humiliating start and a very large helping of energy drink got ...

Arras and Vimy Ridge
... , but that didn't mean that it still wasn't immaculate. On Monday we took a taxi to the Vimy Memorial. It was a holiday Monday in France so it was quiet when we arrived and that was really nice. The monument itself is so beautiful - it is a famous piece ...

Vimy Ridge
... a quick scan of the trains and noticed that a train went into the place we wanted to be. We thus changed plans again and went to Arras (the town near Vimy Ridge). Again we had arrived late and the cost to rent a car was the same as renting a taxi so we ...
