Places to see in ( Arras - France )
Arras is a city in northern France. The Carrière Wellington is a network of quarry tunnels used by soldiers during WWI. North of the city, surrounded by lush countryside, the Canadian National Vimy Memorial honors the Canadian soldiers killed during the war. In town, the cobbled Place des Héros has buildings with Flemish facades, including the Town Hall and belfry. The Abbey of St. Vaast houses a fine arts museum.
The capital of the historic Artois region has a strong Flemish accent, clear in the names, architecture, food and art. The gabled houses on Place des Héros and Grand-Place could easily be in Belgium or the Netherlands, while the fine arts museum has a bounty of Flemish and Dutch baroque painting.
The First World War raged in this region and there are constant reminders of the conflict a century later: Metres below your feet in Arras is an old labyrinth of chalk tunnels where the citizens took shelter, but also where Allied forces coordinated the Battle of Arras in 1917. An then just outside the city are memorials, cemeteries and thought-provoking museums.
An unexpected gem of a city, Arras (the final 's' is pronounced), the former capital of Artois, is worth seeing mainly for its exceptional ensemble of Flemish-style arcaded buildings – the main squares are especially lovely at night – and two subterranean WWI sites. The city makes a good base for visits to the Battle of the Somme memorials.
The city of Arras is famous for its two gems that are the Grand Place (main square) and the Héros square. Surrounded by 155 houses of Flemish Baroque style, these two paved squares are magnificent and make an enchanting scene! Very lively, the Héros square, lined with covered galleries home to fine food shops and cafés, is dominated by the belfry of the town hall. The former Saint-Vaast Benedictine abbey house a Fine Art museum dedicated to painting and sculpture.
All of the belfries in the historic County of Flanders are listed as UNESCO sites, and that goes for the proud one on Place des Héros. A lift will get you most of the way to a panoramic viewpoint, and after that you have to scale another 40 steps on a metallic spiral stairway for a bird’s eye view 75 metres above the centre of Arras. The belfry is in the flamboyant gothic style and has been rebuilt twice since it was completed in 1554, first to correct structural faults in 1840 and then after damage in the First World War.

Places to see in ( Lille - France ) Beffroi de Lille
The belfry of the Lille Town Hall , inaugurated in 1932 , is the highest civil belfry in Europe. The project of its construction results from the destruction of the former City Hall during the First World War. It is attached to the Hotel de Ville and forms a massive architectural ensemble for the Town Hall, and slender and slender for its belfry ; the whole was designed by the architect Émile Dubuisson .
For reasons of land availability and political choice, the building was built in the old district Saint-Sauveur , slightly off center from the city center of the time. The belfry is red brick and concreteCarved stone way mixing Art Deco and neo-Flemish architecture; the red brick meets the green plane trees that surround the building. It rises to more than 100m high, thus affirming for the time the political and commercial power of the regional capital.
The belfry hosts a collection of contemporary works, complementing those decorating the various municipal halls. At a height of 104 m , the belfry of Lille is also the largest municipal building in France. This site, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is served by the Mairie de Lille metro station and its ascent is open to the public.
The belfry of the Hôtel-de-Ville was preceded by the belfry of the Halle alchemy of Lille demolished in 1601 and by the old belfry of the Town Hall of Lille at the Palais Rihour built in 1826 and demolished in 1856. The belfry of the Chamber of Commerce which still exists is a few years earlier.
The belfry was designed surmounted by a rotating beacon ( 1,000 watts today) whose range is noticeable at nearly 30 km distance per night. Symbol of the influence of the capital, and perhaps also of its vigilance in the context of the 1930s when we are already preparing for a new war. The lighthouse illuminates the skies of Belgium , and can be seen as far as the North Sea .
The belfry adorns many postcards and municipal and regional documents. The belfry of Lille can also in the local or national journalistic language mean the municipality, in the electoral sense of the term. It adorns, with other monuments, a coin of the Monnaie de Paris with the effigy of Lille ( 34 mm in diameter, fluted slice, 16 grams ).

A Walk Around Place Pigalle, Montmartre, Paris
Pigalle is an area in Paris around the Place Pigalle, on the border between the 9th and the 18th arrondissements. It is named after the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714–1785).
Pigalle is famous for being a tourist district, with many sex shops, theatres and adult shows on Place Pigalle and the main boulevards. The neighbourhood's raunchy reputation led to its Second World War nickname of Pig Alley by Allied soldiers.The Divan du Monde and the Moulin Rouge, a world-famous cabaret, are both located in Pigalle.
The area to the south of Place Pigalle is devoted to the retail of musical instruments and equipment, especially for popular music. A section of the rue de Douai consists solely of stores selling guitars, drums and musical accessories.
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec's studio was here. Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and Maurice Neumont also once lived here as did Andre Breton, and in 1928 Josephine Baker opened her first night club next door to Breton's apartment. The works of artist Salvador Dalí can be seen at the nearby Espace Dalí.
Pigalle is well known to tourists who want to experience Paris by night. It is home to some of Paris' most famous cabarets (the Moulin Rouge, for instance, was immortalised by artist Toulouse-Lautrec as well as Hollywood), as well as topless and nude shows.
Pigalle is one end-point of the Montmartrobus (a public bus serving the area), or you can get to the Place Pigalle by taking the Métro to the Pigalle stop.
American-born jazz singer Adelaide Hall lived in Pigalle in 1937–1938 and opened her nightclub La Grosse Pomme (the Big Apple) at 73 Rue Pigalle. Other nightclubs in Rue Pigalle during the late 1930s included the Moon Rousse and Caravan where Django Reinhardt played.

A Day In France at the Vimy WW1 Memorial - Benelux Trip 9
The Canadian Memorial of Vimy, stands as an impressive tribute that Canada paid to all those who served their country in fighting or gave their lives during the First World war. It majestically overhangs the Douai plain and the mining area at the foot of the Artois hills. It indicates the location of the operation of which the Canadians are proudest, during the Second World war. It represents a homage to all those who fought during four years for their country and in particular to all those who paid with their lives.
Inscribed on the ramparts of the Memorial are the names of one thousand two hundred and twenty five Canadian soldiers who were posted missing and presumed dead in France.
