Go there and contact
Citadelle, home to the Communauté urbaine d'Arras and the Centre régional des lettres et du livre Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
Nicknamed "La Belle Inutile" because it was never attacked, the Arras citadel, built between 1667 and 1672, has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2008. Outside, the Mur des Fusillés pays tribute to the 218 members of the Resistance executed in the moat. Since 2010, the citadel has hosted the annual Main Square Festival, a major event on the music scene. The site is home to the Communauté urbaine d'Arras, the Agence régionale du livre et de la lecture des Hauts-de-France, and Cit'Loisirs, an accrobranche course, in its park.
