Vimy Ridge and Arras
April 10, we revisited the Vimy Memorial, and had an excellent tour by the Canadian university student from Winnipeg, Reta.

TravelPod Member ReviewsLa Belle Etoile Saint-Nicolas-lez-Arras
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Vimy, Arras area. It was a short drive to the center of Arras, where there was lots of inexpensive parking.
