Camalou at Ypres provides high
standard accommodation and a good breakfast buffet with
local delicacies.
One wing of the house has been
transformed to provide accommodation to our visitor's who come
from all over the world. Most of them come to visit the
battlefields from the Ypres Salient.
The three guest bedrooms were the
focus of my careful and painstaking attention to detail. My
background in design and architecture provided the inspiration for
the three en-suite rooms. Each one tastefully decorated using a
careful combination of colors, fabrics and furniture of the
highest quality. I have named each room after a flower drawn from
some of the most poignant poetry of the Great War. All rooms have
en-suite shower and toilet, as well as TV (including English
channels).
We provide more than just
accommodation, in the lounge we have:
-
Microwave
and fridge.
-
Trench maps and books.
-
Computer online (fast connection)
free to use.
-
Possibility
to rent a bike: 7euro per day.

"Poppies"
Room
Named after the famous poem
from John McCrae:
written in Essex Farm North of Ypres
In Flanders
Fields
In Flanders fields
the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below. |

"Roses"
Room
Named after the
famous song written by Fred Weatherley:
Roses of
Picardy
Roses
are shining in Picardy,
In the hush of the silvery dew.
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy,
But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime,
And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy!
Tis the rose that I keep in my heart! |

Violets from
Oversea
Violets
from Plug Street Wood,
Sweet, I send you oversea.
(It is strange they should be blue,
Blue, when his soaked blood was red,
For they grew around his head;
It is strange they should be blue. |
