The two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi dominate the Arras region. They can be seen from afar. They shape the landscape of the Artois plains. They are a landmark for those walking in the surrounding area. Located on a hill seven kilometers northwest of Arras, the two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi are the monumental remains of an abbey with a thousand-year history.
Listed as a historical monument since 1921 and owned by the Pas-de-Calais Department since 2008, the two towers are the subject of a scientific and cultural project to raise awareness and promote their heritage. Between 2010 and 2015, the Department carried out restoration work, and its archaeology department conducted six excavations.
