web application? It covers only the Belgian part of the Western Front Zone but to be honest, if you want to see all of it, you need a few days at least!
If interested in staying close to canals and old railway tracks, this is a track that brings you from Comines/Wervik to Ypres, Veurne, Diksmuide and Nieuwpoort along the Yser, the Ieperlee Canal, the Palingbeek, the Nieuwpoort-Dunkirk Canal, the Lovaart and the railway track between Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide:

thanks! these are helpful.
My original plan was to do this in 2 weeks. Fly to Paris, take the TGV to Lille, unbox the bike and ride to Ypres. From there down to the Somme, across to Chateau-Terry, Reims, and then Verdun. As I recall it was about 400 miles in total, but a fair amount more if I wandered around to every place I wanted to see. I have a stack of books and Michelin maps in a box, but still no time to do this...
