Searching in a guide book on the north of France , I found out that the sandstone tunnels at the Vimy battlefield were used by Huguenots hiding in 16th and 17th centuries. Luc

I have been in the tunnels at Vimy Ridge used by the Canadians in WW1. I have just contacted a member of the Western Front Association who has done a lot of research on the tunnels in that part of France including the tunnels dug by the NZ Tunnelling Company under Arras which linked the caverns from which chalk had been extracted in medieval times.
