John_Hartley Posted 16 March , 2007 Share Posted 16 March , 2007 Welcome to the Forum, Maurice. If it was me, I'd stay in the fleshpots of Arras. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkhill Blue Posted 16 March , 2007 Share Posted 16 March , 2007 Does anyone out there know of a good hotel to stay at when visiting bienvillers cemetery? Maurice Maurice, Arras is handy, otherwise start here: http://www.1914-1918.net/sacredground/accomm_somme.html No doubt, you have a particular reason for visiting Bienvillers. It's a large cemetery set in open fields and it's one of what I think of as the 'red rose' cemeteries. If you visit in summer or autumn, you'll see what I mean! If you have time, not far away is one of my favourite Somme (it may be streching a point to call it that) cemeteries, St Amand. It's a beautiful example of one of the smaller cemeteries tucked away on the edge of a small village, and you'll have the cows for company! Enjoy your trip.

trenchtrotter Posted 28 March , 2007 Share Posted 28 March , 2007 Hotel du Nord, Fonquevillers. Approx £23 per night, dinner bread and brekkie. Just returned from there and visited said Cemetery when staying in 2006. Plenty of snow in March. TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
