LES FÊTES D'ARRAS

The Fêtes d'Arras celebrates each year the attachment of the city to the kingdom of France in the 17th century. The festivities kick off in August with the Puces à Bidasse, a festive flea market that takes place on the Grand'Place, the Place des Héros and the Place de la Vacquerie. Then the festivities continue with the Fair with the Rides on the Grand Place, the Festival of the Andouillette and, to close these wild festivities, the setting on fire of the Belfry which is an event not to be missed! As every year, emotions and conviviality are at the rendezvous of these now famous festivals!
