Arras: Attractions and more...

The three squares—Grande Place, Place des Héros and Petite Placeoccupy the centre of the town. The Town Hall and cathedral built in Gothic style stand out amongst the structures dating back to almost 400 years. The belfry atop the cathedral gives a panoramic view of the three squares and the town beyond.

One can also venture into the underground passages from the Middle Ages which served firstly as cellars and then as hideouts for troops.

The vast Saint-Vaast’s abbey and cathedral with its beautiful art, sculptures and tapestry, portrays the period of Arras’ prosperity. The majestic Vauban citadel was built to protect the town but it never served its purpose because Arras was never attacked after it was fortified.

Archaeological remains of Nemetacum—a 2000-year-old Roman settlement—reflects life as it was for some of the earliest inhabitants of this area.
