Somme Battlefields Remembrance Circuit
The Remembrance Circuit (also known as the Remembrance Trail) is a well-marked trail between Péronne and Albert. Battlefields, WWI cemeteries, museums, and memorials, such as the Australian National Memorial in Villers-Bretonneux, are all along the way.
A self-guided walking tour of the Remembrance Trail is possible. There are 48 walking paths to choose from. Information for hiking the Remembrance Circuit is available from the tourism offices in Péronne, Albert, and Corbie. Visitors can sign up for guided tours at tourist information centers and museums. Hikers will be rewarded with the beautiful sight of bright red poppies blossoming in the fields if they arrive in late April. The red poppy is an excellent symbol of sacrifice as well as remembrance.
