In Arras, you'll discover a city that combines its rich history with impressive architecture. The UNESCO-protected squares, the Grand'Place and the Petite Place (Place des Héros), captivate with their magnificent Flemish gable facades and characteristic arcades. The Town Hall's Belfry, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers expansive views over the city. Deep beneath the surface, the Boves, an extensive network of medieval tunnels, tell of their strategic importance in World War I; the Wellington Quarry illuminates the Battle of Arras. For an authentic experience, a visit to the weekly markets on the squares is recommended to sample regional specialties. Explore the arcades and alleyways, preferably in the morning hours, to peacefully enjoy the special atmosphere.
