The 13th century altar with its marble retable in the Eglise St-Jean-Baptiste (1927) comes from the old chapel of the Petite Place, destroyed in 1792. the "Descent from the Cross of Rubens" was in the cathedral before the First World War. Every year the heroic deeds of Wacquez and Glasson, two firefighters who died trying to put out the fire that destroyed the church in 1915, are commemorated here.

Scarpe riverbanks

Highlight • Other

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.
