Atout France releases WWI remembrance brochure

Atout France has just launched a bilingual brochure presenting the Great War Remembrance sites in France.

The brochure highlights site such as Vimy (Nord-Pas de Calais) and Beaumont-Hamel (Somme, Picardy), along with a detailed map of the Western Front featuring sites where the memory of Canadian and Allied soldiers is honored.

The publication will be distributed in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal in the coming months and is also available online.

About six million tourists, half of which are international travellers, visit remembrance sites each year, said Atout France.
