A place of impressive architecture, with remarkable Flemish Baroque facades and a huge market in Arras.

In the Middle Ages, the square was known as the Petit Marché, with its corporate halls, where the trouvères gave their theatrical performances. Today, it's a group of 155 Flemish Baroque facades with a similar look. The 75-meter-high belfry, topped by a golden lion, located at the far end of the square, symbolizes the heroism of its inhabitants. In 1945, the square was renamed Place des Héros, in tribute to the members of the Arrage resistance who were shot during the Second World War. The square was rebuilt after the war.

Quand on pense à Arras, on pense tout de suite à ses places bordées de maison de style flamand et à son beffroi.
Pourtant ces lieux ont bien souffert. Au sortir de la grande guerre le beffroi était en ruines et il était difficile de trouver encore une maison sur pieds. Nous pouvons donc remercier les architectes des monuments historiques qui ont fait renaître les places de leurs cendres

En visite à Arras, il ne faut pas manquer de passer sur la place des héros.
Elle se situe à coté de l'hotel de ville-Beffroi et la grand-place.
