Grand' Place, Central square in Arras, France

The Grand Place features 155 Flemish-Baroque facades with distinctive stone and brick construction, supported by 345 columns that form covered walkways.

Following extensive damage during World War I, the square underwent complete reconstruction to restore its original architectural design from the 16th century.

The square maintains a centuries-old tradition with bi-weekly markets every Wednesday and Saturday, where vendors sell regional products and fresh produce.

Multiple cafes, restaurants, and shops surround the square, while public transportation stops and parking facilities are located within walking distance.

A Timescope installation on the square allows visitors to experience virtual reality views of medieval Arras through digital reconstructions.
