Ypres & Flanders Fields

Discover Ypres and the Flanders Fields Museum

In the morning, our guide will lead you past the main war memorials of Ypres: the moving Menin Gate, the Irish Cross and the atmospheric Saint George's Memorial.

After a delicious lunch we visit "In Flanders Field Museum" which - now that the last witnesses have also died - is more than ever the gateway to the First World War in Flanders.

In Flanders fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

   Major John McCrae – 1915
