Faubourg British Memorial

Highlight • Other

The Faubourg d'Amiens was already a killing ground when the British relieved the French army in Arras and the surrounding area in 1916. The French cemetery has now disappeared and only soldiers from the Commonwealth countries are buried there, as well as some German prisoners of war. The Memorial commemorates the 35,928 British, New Zealand and South African fighters who fell in this area and whose bodies have not been recovered. Be sure to check out the flying Services memorial in the semi-circular building close to the Pierre du Souvenir. The square column crowned with a globe bears the names of the 991 British air force pilots who died in the First World War.

Arras Citadel

Highlight • Castle

The citadel of Arras is a unique site in France. Built by Vauban in the 17th century, it retains an exceptional heritage from its 3 centuries of military history. Demilitarized and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008, it is today a "small town within a city" rich in remarkable historic buildings, green walking paths and leisure activities.

Wall of the Executed at the Citadel of Arras

Highlight • Monument

The Mur des Fusillés is a memorial located in the moats of the Citadel of Arras, Hauts-de-France. It is a poignant reminder of the tragic history of 218 patriots who were shot dead by German troops during World War II. The memorial is dedicated to these victims of different nationalities during the years after the Battle of Arras and is worth a visit to understand and remember the brutality of this dark period in history.

The memorial is located at the Citadel of Arras, where the patriots were executed between August 21, 1941 and July 21, 1944. The design of the memorial has been deliberately kept simple, to maintain the authenticity of the site and allow visitors to see the setting that witnessed these tragic events. The only monument present in the memorial is a pole, recreated as exactly as possible from the one to which the victims were tied. In addition, 218 plaques mounted along the walls of the citadel commemorate each victim, and a plaque at the entrance to the memorial invites visitors to commemorate the sacrifice of these patriots.

The Mur des Fusillés is located near the Citadel (near the old gate), Jardin du Polygone, and another place of remembrance which is the Military Cemetery of Faubourg d'Amiens. The site remains open to the public every afternoon from 2pm to 7pm.

Citadel Paths of Arras

Highlight • Trail

Pleasant wooded paths to walk during a walk. Some portions are covered with large "gravel" not very passable with narrow tires (< 28mm)
