About Tour Guide Frederic C.
My name is Frederic and since I was a child I was merged in the history as my grandfather was during the Second World War part of the French resistance and helped Allied pilots who crashed with their airplane to escape France by Spain. After the war my grandfather will receive a personal letter from General Dwight Eisenhower thanks him for his action.
My knowledge in the First and Second World Wars were recognized by the US Army where I was in charge to organize Staff Rides and ceremonies for them. I am also a local historian consultant and participated in several TV documentaries and my name is also mentioned in several books by other historians.

Vimy Ridge, The Somme: Canada in the Great War
The Battle of Vimy Ridge from the 9th to the 12th of April, 1917 marks the most important victory of the Canadian Forces. I propose to visit the battlefield, its aerial trenches but also underground as well as its interpretive center. The visit will continue on the Somme sector and especially on the Newfoundland Memorial Park in Beaumont Hamel, emblematic place where its soldiers where engaged in the battle. Courcellette and the Canadian Memorial commemorating the battles of 1916.
