Dominique's cafe restaurant is a gathering place for those who seek to find relatives lost in the Great War, particularly Australians. Dominique has a database which apparently can lead you directly to their resting place. Food is so-so and prices are a bit outrageous, the trench museum has seen it's best days, but still an interesting stop.

Between the town of Conty and Loeuilly, at the end of a grand avenue, are the remains, in brick and stone, of the old château of Wailly. It is easily accesible from the Coulée Verte, if you want to visit by bicycle.
Building began about 1640 and continued to 1690. Built in Louis XIII style, in a semi-circular design. Around 1785, a new building was constructed next to the ruins of the old one. Most of the buildings were destroyed during the French Revolution. Only one 60 m long wing, Louis XIV dependencies and Louis XVI amphitheatre still survive.
During most of WWII it served as a military barracks for approximately 150 German troops. In September 1944, General Bernard Montgomery established his general headquarters here for serveral days.
Visit of grounds and chapel are possible between 1 July and 10 August from noon to 6 pm.

Wellington Quarry, today in the middle of the town of Arras, is a former underground quarry dating back to the Middle Ages and Roman times. During WWI New Zealanders in particular expanded the network of tunnels and rooms creating an underground city used by forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth, During the Battle of Arras 1917, it was used for the Allied offensive which was launched in the early hours of 9 April 1917 when 24,000 men surged out from their underground hiding places. Very emotional feeling at the exit.
