Notre Dame de Lorette is a wonderful place to visit. You have the cemetery, church, and now the memorial to the 580,000 people, of all nationalities who died in Nord-Pas de Calais during World War I. The view of the surrounding area is spectacular as well. There is no entrance fees. After visiting here, take the time to drive down the hill to Saint Lazaire and then Mont Eloi where there are church ruins.

The Notre Dame de Lorette is the largest French Military cemetery, although it may not first look it when you arrive. Nevertheless, it is a somber place worth a visit. At the church and the tower with the eternal flame there will be men to great you at the door. They are not guards, as we thought, but part of a volunteer organization to greet visitors, especially families of the dead. They were quite pleased when they heard that we were from the United States. I imagine they don't get as many US visitors. The church is neo-Bizintine, with mosaics and stained glass that celebrates the French victory in the war. It is not part of a well known battle and is a little out of the way, but would make a good stop if you are visiting Vimy Ridge or Arras. The cafe next to the cemetery serves a good fixed price lunch.

First visited the place about ten years ago when it was in a state of disrepair by what can only be described as neglect. We were the only visitors which was a shame. Over the intervening years it remained in a similar state but last year they had begun to renovate it. This year its about there to be a true monument to those that perished in the area and now when we visited I was pleased to see large numbers of people showing their respects. The Church mosaic is very detailed and the necropolis / mausoleum quite moving. There is an interesting museum nearby and the new wall with the names of those that died in the area on it. I personally found this a bit gimmicky being an attempt to copy the American Vietnam Wall and and would have preferred to see the money spent on finishing the renovation of the actual cemetery

This is a large cemetery that sits on part of the Vimy Ridge which was a heavily fought for location during the Great War. The crosses are laid out in strict lines as most of the cemeteries in the area and the position commands views over the lower areas. On the approach look out for the ruins of a church? that still bears shrapnel and bullet damage as a reminder of what took place in the area during the 1914-18 conflict.

This cemetery is situated on a ridge, similar to Vimy Ridge and also heavily fought over. The memorial and Basilica is visible from the surrounding area and whilst it is a little trick to find, it is well woirth the time taken.The Basilcia is exquisite inside and the rows of french crosses show how g=hard their troops fought.This is the largest French Military Cemetery in the world. The cemetery & ossuary hold the remains of 40,000 French soldiers as well as the ashes of many, many concentration camp victims from WW2. There are just 6 graves of French soldiers from WW2 as well as unknown French soldiers from Indo-China and North Africa.The ‘Honour Guards’ are volunteers who retain the memory of those who died and are representatives of the families of those commemorated here.

The scale of this place really brings home the horror of war. We found it very moving and the trenches next door were so interesting.. I took some brilliant pictures for my students at school, especially the ones which show how close the two sets of trenches were.

We stopped off here on the way to Vimy on the anniversary of the Battle of Arras.The action here was part of the same series of attacks. Since a visit a few years ago there has been a lot of work on the approach from the main D937 and A26.The rows of crosses, often doubled is very sobering.

I was on a coach tour of www1 battlefields. We arrived at Notre-Dame de Lorette at about 5:15pm. As we walked towards the gate it was closed by a couple of very officious gentlemen. They implied it was too late to go in. As far as I know the closing time is 6:00pm at the earliest. These men then went to the pub. An extremely disappointing experience and totally unnecessary.
