Our region had been forever scared in 1916, by the outrageous number of victims during the Battle of the Somme. This battle included 30 different nations. Today, the scars are still visible all over our landscapes. The Somme 1916 Tour invites to come and discover the Somme battlefields along with their vestiges, cemeteries and impressive memorials.
