Former Mont-Saint-Éloi Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

On this hill (135m) which dominates the Scarpe valley, Saint Eloi founded an abbey in the 7th century. The army of Louis XI set up camp there in the 15th century during the siege of Arras, as did the Prince of Condé against Turenne two centuries later. The damaged abbey was rebuilt in the 18th century by Augustinians. But the revolution sold the walls as national property and during the world wars (particularly in 1915 and 1940) the building was almost completely destroyed. Only the two impressive towers (53m) remain.

Abbey of Mont-Saint-Éloi

Highlight • Historical Site

The two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi dominate the Arras region. They can be seen from afar. They shape the landscape of the Artois plains. They are a landmark for those walking in the surrounding area. Located on a hill seven kilometers northwest of Arras, the two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi are the monumental remains of an abbey with a thousand-year history.
Listed as a historical monument since 1921 and owned by the Pas-de-Calais Department since 2008, the two towers are the subject of a scientific and cultural project to raise awareness and promote their heritage. Between 2010 and 2015, the Department carried out restoration work, and its archaeology department conducted six excavations.

Bray Chalk Quarry

Highlight • Structure

La Carrière de Craie de Bray is a quarry in the municipality of Mont-Saint-Éloi. It is a popular place for hikers and nature lovers because of its beautiful surroundings. The hills around Mont-Saint-Éloi consist of a thick layer of secondary-age chalk, formed by the accumulation of skeletons of marine animals when Artois was submerged in a shallow sea.
