Notre-Dame-de-Lorette national necropolis

Unlike the Commonwealth plan to have lots of small cemeteries, the French collected their war dead into just a few huge areas. We visited Notre Dame de Lorette, on the next part of the battlefield to Vimy Ridge. Wiki page . The site was staffed by French veterans, who were wonderful, and spent a lot of time sharing with us in conversation. It was sad that they get so few non French visitors.
