Tips

Philippe LERNOUT à Arras

July 22, 2022

The citadel of Arras is a unique site in France. Built by Vauban in the 17th century, it retains an exceptional heritage from its 3 centuries of military history. Demilitarized and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008, it is today a "small town within a city" rich in remarkable historic buildings, green walking paths and leisure activities.

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”.

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.
