Located very close to England and just across the border from Belgium, Arras has historically occupied a highly exposed position. The Battle of Arras in April 1917 was one of the events that deeply scarred the region. Numerous sites and monuments bear witness to the city’s past and history. If you’re visiting Arras, it would be a shame to miss the Wellington Quarry (underground tunnels steeped in memory and emotion) or the military cemeteries, including several British cemeteries.
