You can feel the weight of history in Arras. This city in northern France bears the scars of conflict, having been besieged by the Franks, the Vikings, the Austrians, and the Spanish, to name a few. But none was as destructive as World War I, when nearly 75% of the city was flattened. Today, Arras serves as a headquarters for military historians, who visit the nearby battlefields of Vimy Ridge, the Somme and Ypres on day trips.

Take a private Arras tour and explore the history of northern France with a local guide.

Start by climbing the belfry tower for views over <i>La Grande Place</i>. Ask your guide to point out the Town Hall, rebuilt in the original Gothic style after WWI, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a unusual perspective of the city, follow your guide 10 metres below the streets into a network of tunnels called the <i>Boves</i>.

If you want to visit the battlefields at Vimy Ridge, the Somme and Ypres, book a private tour and let your guide bring history to life.
