Stunning trompe-l'œil murals offer a subtle tribute to the Polish airmen who fell in the area during World War II. Near the church, you'll find a collection of old photographs and information about Naours as it once was. Don't forget to look at the street signs, some of which also include the name in Picard dialect – a rare find!

The Urban Community of Arras, owner of the Citadel since 2010, has committed to a large-scale reconversion programme. The aim is to transform former military sites into real Arras neighbourhoods, living and cultural places with a mix of functions.

This octagonal citadel was built between 1668 and 1672 to a design by Vauban and consists of 5 bastions. Since 2008, the citadel has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the 12 major fortifications built by Vauban in France. When Louis XIV ordered its construction, it was not intended to protect the city against the Spaniards, but to supervise the inhabitants of Arras. The citadel was therefore nicknamed "La Belle inutile". Now a regiment is stationed here.
