A small city located in northern France, Arras has a lot to offer to visitors. It has a variety of great local attractions including the Vimy Ridge Monument and two large town squares; the Grand Place, and the Petit Place. Both of these sqaures are surrounded by some incredible architecture, including the town hall and a huge cathedral. The Grand Place also serves as a place for the circus when it comes to town.
Vimy Ridge is the site of a huge World War One battle, and is truly inspirational. At the town hall in the Petit Place, one can take a tour of the catacombs underneath the city for only 4 Euros. Not as extensive as the Paris catacombs, but still worth the visit. [edit text][editors]
