The Thiepval Visitors Centre opened in July 2004. It is a joint English-French project, and has both French and English speaking staff. The centre supplies tourist information, and has good toilet and picnic facilities. It is located out of view, but only a short distance from the Thiepval Memorial. It has its own parking area, with space for coaches.
