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-Vaasts palace (ancient abbey church of the 18th century), the cathedrale and the house of Robespierre.
