We invite you to follow in the footsteps of one of the most important battles of the Second World War, in this guided historic tour over 2 days.

We will take you to visit the American cemetery of Henri-Chapelle where nearly 8000 soldiers are buried, continuing along the route taken by the Kampfgruppe Peiper, a unit infamous for the abuses it committed on its way near Malmedy after which it went to La Gleize where it had to abandon its tanks for lack of fuel and where one of those tanks is still visible. We will continue our visit to the Fraiture Barracks to discuss one of the many heroic acts carried out by American troops to slow down or halt the German advance at Parker's Crossroads. Finally, we will end the day with a final stop in Grandmenil where we can discover another remnant of this battle.

On the second day of the visit, we will focus on Bastogne and its surroundings, on the fierce resistance of the 101st American Airborne Division and its Easy Company made famous by the Band of Brothers series from Steven Spielberg. Optionally, we propose a visit to the Bastogne War Museum.
