Mont Saint Eloi - Modern art

[bartensabien]

I'm going to Nothern France and I would like to see this modern monument.

I can't find it in Google Earth.

Does someone know if the cars are still there ? and where is exactly ?

Regards,

Bart

So that's where I parked that rental car.....

I like it very much: a modern copy of the ruines of the abbey of Mont Saint Eloi.

If this was exposed in a museum of contemporary art , people would line up and pay money to see it.

More modern art and WW1: (the piece of art can be seen in Diksmuide, Belgium, near the 'Ijzertoren').

I checked with the 'bureau de tourisme' in Arras.

The cars are gone....

Thanks for the link, although being unable to understand what the chap (the artist?) was saying I remain a bit bemused about the point he was trying to make with his art!

Bart,

If you are still wanting to know the location of the Mont St Eloi ruin, even without the modern art, it's about 10km SW of the Canadian Memorial at Vimy.
