Grand Place Arras
* The first shot is not from Alsace but was taken in the northern French city of Arras, where we spent a night. This shows a section of the vast square in the centre of town called La Grand' Place. The square is surrounded by a unique architectural ensemble of 155 Flemish-Baroque-style townhouses. These were built in the 17th and 18th centuries and were initially made of wood. In 1918, after the end of World War I, most of the townhouses were so severely damaged that they had to be restored to their pre-war conditions. They are now made of bricks.
