Departure from Bouconville-Vauclair (Aisne)
On one of the sites of the ill-fated Chemin des Dames offensive of April 1917, this route is mainly through forest but with clear passages offering superb views that give an understanding of how perilous the operation was. The route through the site of the former village of Craonne, which was razed to the ground under a barrage of artillery fire, is particularly moving. The remains of Vauclair Abbey provide a beautiful heritage-filled end to the walk.

Departure from Aizy-Jouy (Aisne)
Between fields and woods, a hike in the western sector of the ill-fated Chemin des Dames offensive of April 1917. Several memorial sites invite reflection on the absurdity of the massacres that wars cause.

Departure from Beaumont-Hamel (Somme)
This list includes several hikes that pay tribute to soldiers of all nationalities who fought in the First World War.

In the list, these hikes are classified according to the front line, from north to south and then from west to east.
