Town Hall and Belfry of Arras

The belfry of the Town Hall (75m high) dominates the Renaissance wing of the building. It has a carillon with forty bells. From the first collar (accessed by a lift and then 43 steps) unobstructed view of the city and surrounding squares and monuments marked on an orientation table.

The town hall, which was destroyed in 1914 and rebuilt between 1922 and 1932 in Gothic and Renaissance style, has a beautiful facade with uneven arches. The three giants, representatives of the gardeners of Archicourt, welcome you in the lobby of the tourist office.

This smaller and busier square with recently restored facades is dominated by the town hall belfry. Sculpture refers to their owner's trade (grain, textiles, cauldron and sheaves of corn).
