Paying respects in Northern France

Sometime next year I'm taking the bike over to Northern France to visit the Arras memorial and pay my respects to my Great Uncle who died in WW1
I'll probably visit the village that he died trying to capture also. I would like to visit the trenches that are preserved and other stuff like that.

It'll probably be a long weekend trip.

Just wondered if anyone else might be interested. If so we can start planning an .org trip.

I was thinking more of the Somme and possibly Ypres and Passchendaele

In that case it is Belgium / North East France you are heading to. I have been a couple of times, very moving place.
