The battles which took place in Flanders and The Somme from 1914-1918 were a massive scale and left countless thousand dead. Our tour is based near Ypres, perhaps the war’s most famous site, and is well placed for touring Flanders and The Somme. Menin is a charming market town a short drive from Ypres.
Your Hotel:
This four star hotel can be found in the centre of Menin, only a short walk from the market place. The hotel has a restaurant, bar, small lounge and lift. All rooms have private facilities. Tea and coffee is available throughout the day at the hotel.
