Something new is emerging here

a very pleasant treetop adventure course is taking shape on this route inside the citadel

The Somme. One of the most thought-provoking areas in Europe. It seem that at almost every turn, there is a cemetery for the fallen of both world wars.

A unique architectural whole The citadel of Arras was never besieged, hence its nickname “the belle inutile”, and is a well-preserved witness of the military buildings of the 17th century.

Once past the Porte Royale you will immediately see the Timescope on the side of the Saint-Louis chapel. This takes you back to 1678, 10 years after the start of the construction of this citadel on behalf of King Louis XIV of Vauban.

The Faubourg d'Amiens was already a killing ground when the British relieved the French army in Arras and the surrounding area in 1916. The French cemetery has now disappeared and only soldiers from the Commonwealth countries are buried there, as well as some German prisoners of war. The Memorial commemorates the 35,928 British, New Zealand and South African fighters who fell in this area and whose bodies have not been recovered. Be sure to check out the flying Services memorial in the semi-circular building close to the Pierre du Souvenir. The square column crowned with a globe bears the names of the 991 British air force pilots who died in the First World War.

You can visit the citadel of Arras, a remarkable place in France. Vauban built it in the 1600s and it has preserved a rich legacy from its 300 years of military use. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008 after they demilitarized it. You can enjoy historic buildings, green trails and fun activities in this “small city within a city”.

A huge citadel with a small exhibition in the entrance area. Unfortunately, large parts of the building fabric are falling into disrepair.
