About

Arras sets up its Ville de Noël on its two arcaded Flemish squares, the Grand'Place and Place des Héros, plus Place du Théâtre. Chalets of treats and crafts stand before gabled façades that are lit up at night. A Ferris wheel, ice rink and carousel complete the scene, and Santa's house is on Place d'Ipswich. It opens at noon and stays open late at weekends. Friday evenings and Saturdays are very busy, so use an edge-of-town park-and-ride.
