Arras - Place des Héros

In the center of Arras is the arcaded Place des Héros, with the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall; 15th- 16th C., rebuilt after the First World War). The belfry, which also served as a watch tower, displays the lion of Arras. The Grande Place to the northeast, which is also arcaded, has preserved its 17th C. aspect with its high-gabled houses.
