On this tour, you’ll discover the Somme and Nord-Pas-De-Calais regions of France, as well as the Flanders region of Belgium.

Be sure to brush up on your Flemish, as Flanders is the Dutch part of Belgium! Beginning in Amiens and ending in Bruges, you’ll bicycle through the northern countryside and see some of the most important parts of World War I’s Western Front, including the Hamel Battlefield, Thiépval, Lorette’s Hill, Menin Gate, and Tyne Cot Cemetery. Mixed in with these thought-provoking memorials are numerous must-see cathedrals and museums such as Amiens Cathedral, The Church of Our Lady, the Somme 1916 Museum, and Groeninge Museum! The Church of Our Lady in Bruges dates back to the late 1200’s, has the second-tallest brickwork tower in the world, and is home to the marble statue “Maddona” made by Michelangelo himself around 1504.
 
Most days come with ride options, allowing you to choose between longer and shorter routes. This bicycle tour is great for riders and history buffs alike, suitable for all riding levels.
