Arras - France


Arras, the birthplace of Robbespierre, has an historic centre
with many houses going back to the 17-th and 18-th century.
The town hall, the grand square and the range of narrow
houses with underground passages are great for a sight seeing tour.
Other sights include the Petite Place (boarded with Flemish typical houses)
the belfry (rebuilt after the First World War)
the Saint-Vaast’s palace (ancient abbey church of the 18th century)
the cathedrale and the house of Robespierre.
