Town hall of Arras, Gothic town hall in Place des Héros, France

The town hall building extends 55 meters wide with a facade featuring pointed arches, golden decorations, and detailed stone carvings across multiple levels.

German artillery shells destroyed the original 16th-century structure in October 1914, leading to a complete reconstruction between 1924 and 1932 under architect Pierre Paquet.

The Reception Hall contains an extensive fresco by Hoffbauer incorporating 800 figures inspired by Brueghel the Elder alongside carved wooden panels.

Visitors can explore the interior through guided tours, accessing both the administrative sections and the underground passages known as Les Boves.

The Wedding Hall displays a large canvas painting by Louis Jaulmes depicting women and flowers from the 1930s in marouflage technique.
