The Caribou Trail

This route starts at the top of a hill. You are in Monchy-le-Preux, a quintessential Artois village that boasts some particularly fine architecture. Just after leaving the village, head through the “Bois du Château” woods, where you will discover a beautiful neo-Gothic chapel.
This beautiful route will take you through wooded areas, open countryside and hedge-lined pastures. On the way back you will pass several reminders of the terrible battles that took place here in April 1917. Near the beautiful neo-Romanesque pilgrimage church you can find the Caribou, a memorial dedicated to the brave Newfoundlanders who repelled the enemy’s huge counter-attacks during the Battle of Arras, while further down the street, three soldiers of the 37th Division keep eternal watch.
