Battlefield Tours

Biking Box Cycletours

Get out for a ride with BIKING BOX: start and finish (après-bike) from the Biking Bar, the unique cycling experience center well situated between Menin Gate Memorial and historic Central Square of Ypres: Menenstraat 15. No better start/finish for a most enjoyable cycling holiday, fully guided or if you prefer self-guided using our rental bicycle servic. Large choice from a wide range of touring or even road bike but also the nowadays inevitable E-bikes.

Fascinating team buildings and original discovery tours. Customized half-, full and multi-day cycling packages. Sporty-challenging on the roads of famous cycling classics, such as Ghent-Wevelgem? Or do you prefer to ride purely recreationally? Experiencing historical context (Battlefields and Memorials of the First World War) and / or discovering regional beer breweries or wine culture.

BIKING BOX? So much more than renting a bicycle ...

 

Camalou Battlefield Tours

During our tour we discover the fate of the soldier at the front and in the hinterland. But we also learn about the misery of the civilians: flee, survive and return to the devastated land and rebuild. Every individual has his story of misery and suffering.

We can follow the footsteps of your soldier.

Compass Research

I am Pierre Legrand from Compass research. With my background and experience in conflict archaeology I started Compass research to share my expertise and interest about this topic. I specialize in custom-made battlefield tours in Belgium and focus myself on the two world wars.

My tours are designed to be accessible to everyone according to their level of expertise and mobility. They are mostly by bike or by foot. My goal is to make my tours as immersive and accurate as  possible to allow the visitor to better understand this period of our shared history. My standard battlefield tours are available on short notice and in three languages: English, French and Dutch.

If your group is interested in a lecture or you are specifically searching about the whereabouts of a relative during the First World War. I will be more than happy to help you.
