Vimy is in France. It is north of Arras about 190 km north of Paris.
It was named the Ridge of Death because the German's were controlling the top part of the Ridge and were able to spot any soldier so many british and France soldiers died. That's what i think

Vimy Ridge is in Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. The ridge is an escarpment 8 kilometres northeast of Arras on the western edge of the Douai Plains. The ridge gradually rises on its western side dropping more quickly on the eastern side. At approximately 7 kilometres in length and culminating at an elevation of 145 metres or 60 metres above the Douai Plains, the ridge provides a natural unobstructed view for tens of kilometres in all directions.
