    A beautiful location to listen to the bells and have a great dinner. There are lots of different options with all cuisine’s available in local restaurants. In the early mornings on the weekends you can catch a market nearby, throughout the day they are local shops and in the evening the shops close and it’s mainly just restaurants. In the centre of the courtyard there is sand pits were you often see kids playing in the sand and playing ball or soccer. My favourite place in the city to have a glass of wine and relax.

    The square is huge and on Wednesdays and Saturdays they have venders and food merchants filling the square offering fruits, vegy produce, baked goods, rotisserie chicken and lots more. You need to plan to be there.

    A lovely square, dominated by the town hall and bell tower at one end. Look for the free Augmented Reality binoculars in the SE corner of the square

    Lovely atmosphere. Beautiful sunset too which helped. The square is lined with bars and cafés and everyone seems to congregate here at nights. Apparently in the summer the numbers of chairs and tables outside increases too. Lets hope they employ more staff as service was a bit slow at the bars we tried.

    Town hall with bell tower, small charge, slightly more if you want the tour. Plenty of bars and restaurants

  • 5/5 Uli K. 8 months ago on Google
    A very special and beautiful place. Many, very nice bars, restaurants and pubs around the square. They are somewhat more expensive than other pubs and bars in the region, but the really great views make up for this. Really stuning is the gothic bell tower and all the house facesures. Really wonderful place 😃

    A great lunchtime place to watch the world go by from one of the many bars and restaurants. A real sun trap.

    We caught it on a local holiday. Very busy which added to the atmosphere. Food was fantastic and very reasonable. The town hall was fantastic.

    Always superb. Lovely place 😌

    Great historical square, good spot to have an apéro under the sun. Heaps of food places to choose from, be wary parking spots are very limited and hard to come by. You're better off finding a spot in one of the smaller side streets.

    Fantastic Christmas market with a great atmosphere and definitely worth a visit. It's worth knowing that if you are a wheel chair user it's very tough going and not very accessible, that's down to the age of the place a the cobbled streets

    This is a lovely old square with a selection of bars and restaurants. It's dedicated to the resistance from WW2. At the end is a gorgeous old town hall with a really impressive tower if your in Arras it's well worth visiting.

    Wet pretty square in Arras which is so beautiful and wide open. A few stores with clothes and shoes however all you can see is cafes. Nice tables and windows and a visitor center at the top as well. St in the sunshine for a salad and dessert. Wonderful open space

    Really nice place to visit! It's a piece of history with verry interesting buildings

  • 5/5 Adam H. 6 years ago on Google
    Simply beautiful, both day and night. A little gem in North France only 100 miles from Calais. Loads of restaurants and bars to choose from, all great value. And a night the whole place is lit up making it extra special to see.

  • 5/5 Thierry S. 3 years ago on Google
    Impressive square. Most surrounding houses on 3 sides are in great condition despite 2 world wars nearby. And all houses are different. The Beffroi witness of rich Guilds is remarkable
