The bell tower of Aras, about 75 m high, is a real treasure of Gothic architecture. It was destroyed during the First World War but was accurately restored with reinforced concrete in non -visible parts. The view from the top is indescribable: you see the squares with the Flemish baroque buildings, the panoramic views of Aras, the countryside around the city. The ascent is a nice experience: you go up with an elevator and then about 30 steps on a twist staircase and thus reach the top. There it can blow quite a bit, so it takes a little attention. The bell tower was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. It is an experience that combines history and architecture and is ideal for those who wish to look from the city.

Very good place to overlook the Hero Square. It costs entrance fee to enter. There is a very small exhibition included in the fare as well. Some stairs need to be taken to access the panoramic view. You might want to be extra careful if having bad knees.

Beautiful building with a high tower who offers wonderful views of Arras. In the coronavirus time, the tower visit costs 9 euros one person and 20 euros for a group of 3 ( same family). To visit the tower you take a lift fist and climb 43 steps to the door to get out. You have 15 minutes in total for the visit. It is a must see in Arras.

"Artillery spent two years pounding one of the most ancient cities of France, Arras. On the tower of the town hall was a golden lion, the guardian of freedom. The tower collapsed; soldiers picked up the lion and sent it to Paris. Arras was later rebuilt; and soon the first bomb of the Second World War fell on the city. It is similar to the fairy tale about the white bull or the myth of Sisyphus", I. Ehrenburg
