Although Arras is a small town, it has nothing to be ashamed of in comparison with the larger ones. With its two stunning Baroque squares, towering belfry and impressive citadel, Arras could easily play the open-air museum card. And yet… Behind its historic monuments lies a very lively heart. Every summer, the city vibrates to the rhythm of the Main Square Festival, one of the biggest music festivals in France. Arras isn’t just beautiful: it’s also full of surprises.
