From Paris To Flanders Fields


Compiegne is a isolated spot in the forest where WW1 came to an end. The Germans and Allies met at an isolated location and signed the agreement that the fighting would stop on November 11th 1918. This was an amazing museum that really surprised everyone. They would let us take photos so this is an image of an anti-German monument that the French built in the 1920's.


Vimy Ridge is the site of the Canadian Memorial. It is located near the town of Arras and sits on the edge of a steep hill overlooking Northern France. At night it is floodlit and must look very dramatic.
