Goal of the Activity

We showcase the city of Ypres, and its rich history.

Description

“In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row…”

John McCrae


 

Step back in time with us on a journey to Ypres, where history and remembrance come alive. Our day begins with a visit to the Flanders Fields Museum, where you’ll be able to explore this powerful tribute to the Great War.

In the afternoon, a local guide will lead us through Ypres on an engaging tour, sharing tales and the city’s incredible history. 

Afterward, the afternoon is yours to enjoy Ypres at your own pace—grab a beer, enjoy a meal, or simply wander through this beautiful city. And for those who wish, stay for the Last Post ceremony, a tradition honoring the fallen.

Don’t miss out on this trip!!
