The 4-star Hotel Ariane
is one of our favourite hotels and for this reason the one we use most
often for our conducted tours. The Ariane combines the
luxury of a top-class hotel with the peace and tranquility of a spacious
landscaped garden, whilst at the same time maintaining a position close to
the centre of this beautiful town.
The English speaking staff at this
hotel (especially those manning the reception…) are extremely helpful and
will do their utmost to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Somme Battlefield Tours ltd has been
offering Self-Drive clients the option of this splendid hotel since 2001.
Why not include a personal conducted tour?
We can easily
arrange for an independent English-speaking guide to collect you at your
hotel and take you (or join you in your vehicle) on a one or two-day
tour of either the Somme or Ypres battlefields This will be a truly
personal service and as such you will not be joining a group comprising
other persons. This option costs a lot more when compared with joining a
fixed-itinerary ‘public’ tour, but is by far and away the best way to
see the battlefield, especially bearing in mind this may be your one
occasion to make the visit you are have in mind. A personal tour is
also better suited for the quiet exploration and reflection of past
events, without the possible distraction of others making up your group
- and the need for the tour leader to stick to a fixed time schedule!
The tour we
will arrange can easily focus on areas of specific interest to you, such
as battlefields where soldiers from any particular country or regiment
fought and died (especially helpful for those seeking to explore
battlefields where Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians etc saw
action). This service is included in the total cost you will pay, thus
making your battlefield visit a seamless experience with everything
arranged by us in advance.
