On our way back from the south of France we stopped for a night at Dijon.
Famous for the mustard, the town has a fabulous medieval historic centre.
Our second overnight was in Ypres, Belgium, made famous for the First World War battles on the Western Front.
The Cloth Hall and Cathedral.
The Menin Gate Memorial.
Every evening at 8pm the buglers from the local Fire Brigade play "The Last Post"
The "Yorkshire Trench"
The German Cemetery at Vladslo near Ypres. These German cemeteries are very dark sombre places with black slabs and no flowers.
In contrast the British & Allied cemeteries have white stones and flowers - almost a celebration of the lives and sacrifice made by the soldiers.
