Visit Canadian memorials in Europe

A profound experience awaits those who visit the monuments and cemeteries in Europe that honour Canada's contributions to defending peace and freedom.

Attention Visitors: The memorial sites in France have experienced heavy snowfall and freezing rain, causing ice to coat the branches, weighing them down and straining the trees. This has led to many branches and trees falling. We ask you to take the necessary precautions if you plan to visit these sites currently. For your safety, please avoid getting close to trees and structures due to the risk of falling snow, ice, and branches.
