\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Le matin nous avons mang\u00e9 un petit d\u00e9jeuner copieux, car nous devions passer beaucoup de temps dans l’autobus. Apr\u00e8s quelques heures dans l’autobus nous nous sommes arr\u00eat\u00e9s \u00e0 Vimy Ridge ou nous avons attendu dans le petit mus\u00e9e avant de marcher au monument de Vimy. Le monument est compos\u00e9 de deux tours verticales blanches. Une tour repr\u00e9sente le Canada et l’autre la France, heureusement le ciel \u00e9tait clair parce que l’espace entre les tours repr\u00e9sente l’oc\u00e9an entre les deux pays. Puis nous sommes retourn\u00e9s au mus\u00e9e o\u00f9 \u00a0nous avons commenc\u00e9 notre visite guid\u00e9e qui nous a conduit dans les tranch\u00e9es et les tunnels. Apr\u00e8s notre visite, nous sommes remont\u00e9s dans l’autobus pour rouler pendant deux heures et demie. Notre dernier arr\u00eat \u00e9tait \u00e0 Rouen. Nous nous sommes promen\u00e9s dans la ville et nous avons vu la cath\u00e9drale de Notre Dame de Rouen et la place du bucher: l’ex\u00e9cution de Jeanne d’Arc. Pour le souper, nous avons mang\u00e9 de la soupe au celeri , du confit de canard et une cr\u00e8me brul\u00e9e au caramel sal\u00e9 pour le dessert. Finalement, nous sommes retourn\u00e9s \u00e0 l’h\u00f4tel pour nous reposer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today was way more comfortable as we got to wake up much later than usual. As opposed to the usual 7am, we got to wake up at 8 since the bus didn\u2019t leave until 9:30. We had a one-hour drive towards Vimy Ridge, which sat on top of a hill which was controlled by the Germans in World War I.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vimy Ridge sits near the city of Arras in France, and was ceded to the Canadian government indefinitely for their efforts in the First World War where they succeeded in capturing the target region in less than four days. This was something that the British and French couldn\u2019t achieve in years.<\/span><\/p>\n

We visited various historical sites in the region, including trenches, fortifications and monuments in the area that was set up to commemorate the thousands of deaths in this battle. Unfortunately, since there still might be live explosives in the region, we weren’t allowed to go beyond a certain area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
