Marais d'Athies

Nature Reserve

10.8 km

The Scarpe Canal Towpath is a peaceful and leafy greenway created by the Arras Urban Community as part of the Arras Green and Blue Network. This Greenway along the Scarpe Canal towpath aims to ensure continuity of wooded areas between rural and urban areas.

The route is interesting and pleasant, as it allows you to safely leave the city, along the water's edge, crossing several natural parks along the towpath. The Greenway starts in Arras, right in the city center, on Rue Louis Blanc or on Boulevard R. Schuman. The end is on Rue de l'Ecluse in Fampoux.

This Greenway has a stabilized dolomite surface, suitable for all types of bicycles but not rollerblades.

Neptune Fountain of Pont de Cité

Highlight • Monument

The Fontaine du Pont-de-Cité or Fontaine de Neptune is a fountain in Arras, France, located on the Place du Pont-de-Cité, on the corner of Rue du 29-Juillet and Rue Saint-Aubert. The fountain was built between 1864 and 1865 and was designed by François Constant Bourgois. The sculpture that adorns the fountain, called “Fleuve”, was made by Vital-Dubray and was cast by the fonderie Ducel in Pocé-sur-Cisse. The fountain is a major landmark in Arras and has been a historic monument since 1988.

Wall of the Executed at the Citadel of Arras

Highlight • Monument

The Mur des Fusillés is a memorial located in the moats of the Citadel of Arras, Hauts-de-France. It is a poignant reminder of the tragic history of 218 patriots who were shot dead by German troops during World War II. The memorial is dedicated to these victims of different nationalities during the years after the Battle of Arras and is worth a visit to understand and remember the brutality of this dark period in history.

The memorial is located at the Citadel of Arras, where the patriots were executed between August 21, 1941 and July 21, 1944. The design of the memorial has been deliberately kept simple, to maintain the authenticity of the site and allow visitors to see the setting that witnessed these tragic events. The only monument present in the memorial is a pole, recreated as exactly as possible from the one to which the victims were tied. In addition, 218 plaques mounted along the walls of the citadel commemorate each victim, and a plaque at the entrance to the memorial invites visitors to commemorate the sacrifice of these patriots.

The Mur des Fusillés is located near the Citadel (near the old gate), Jardin du Polygone, and another place of remembrance which is the Military Cemetery of Faubourg d'Amiens. The site remains open to the public every afternoon from 2pm to 7pm.
