clive_hughes Posted 27 March , 2018 Share Posted 27 March , 2018 Hi folks, a question for those with knowledge of the relevant area. I'm hoping to be able to take a trip to Arras this June and would like to see the site of Chateau de la Haie near Carency, which was the HQ of 4th Canadian Division from March 1917 including the Vimy Ridge battle. It lies between Gouy-Servins and Villers-au-Bois, and seems to be on a lane connecting the D65 and D57 roads. Villers Station CWGC Cemetery is in the vicinity (just to the south-west) and I've used the satellite map from their website. I'm aware the chateau was burned down in the 1950s (and replaced), but do you know if is it possible to drive along the connecting roadway "Le Bois de la Haye" , just to go past the site? Some of the people with me would appreciate just being able to do so, if it wouldn't offend or disturb the current occupants. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 28 March , 2018 Admin Share Posted 28 March , 2018 You can certainly see the lodge from Villers Station. I would say that looking at the satellite photo, it looks like it is a private drive to the house. I guess that you could try asking at the lodge Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
