Ieper (Ypres)
-
Ieper (French: Ypres) was one of the great medieval trading cities of Flanders. Its historic past was all but erased when it became the focal point of bitter trench warfare in World War I. Today it is the centre for visits to the trenches and the many cemeteries, and site of the Menin Gate, the memorial arch marking the road along which so many soldiers marched, never to return. But the real draw is “In Flanders Fields”, a superb museum depicting the background and course of the war, its experiences, textures and horrors – a richly informative and deeply moving experience.
