Here video showing the site of Vimy (north of France , on the battefield).
13 April 2001
The old Vimy ammunition depot is abandoned today.
This Vimy site was created in August 1967...
It contained up to 650 tons of munitions...
and in the summer of 1997 the French government decided to have it evacuated as a priority.
But this operation was obviously not done as quickly as desired.
