Thanks airbus320 for a great resource - it gives me even more impetus to visit the next time I'm in Europe. How long does it take to get from Paris to Beaumount-Hamel ? I'm under the impression it is about a 2 hr. train ride ? The reason I ask is that I do trips every two years to Europe and the next one is slated to include Paris and we do have some free time. I can't think of a better educational activity than seeing this area.
