The Notre Dame de Lorette basilica and military cemetery (world's largest French military cemetery) at Ablain-Saint-Nazaire (Pas-de-Calais), France


Notre Dame de Lorette also known as Ablain French Military Cemetery, is the world's largest French military cemetery. It is the name of a ridge, basilica, and French national cemetery northwest of Arras at the village of Ablain-Saint-Nazaire. The high point of the hump-backed ridge stands 165 metres high and - with Vimy Ridge - utterly dominates the otherwise flat Douai plain and the town of Arras.
