L'abbaye Saint-Vaast - rue des Teinturiers. The Abbey of Saint-Vaast, subject to the Benedictine rule, was founded in 667 on the hill of La Madeleine near Arras. It was around the abbey that the village grew, on the banks of the Crinchon river. Since 1825, it home to the the Museum of Fine Arts in Arras.
* La Cathédrale - rue des Teinturiers. The taste of the classical period imposed at the time gave the inside of the church the appearance of an ancient temple. Everything is grand, majestic and beautifully proportioned. It gives an impression of nobility, balance and majesty serene, and radiant light. The cathedral houses some wonders (series of eight sculptures of saints from the Pantheon, Tombs of the bishops ...) and some Art Deco pieces.
* Saint-Jean-Baptiste - rue Wacquez-Glasson. Built in the sixteenth century, Saint-Nicolas-on-the-Fosse is one of the few religious buildings Arras to have crossed the revolutionary turmoil. Known as the Temple of Reason during the terror, the church is then returned to worship, and thus became known as Saint-Jean-Baptiste in 1833 after the consecration of the Cathedral. Destroyed during WW1, it was rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style.
* Saint-Nicolas-en-Cité - place de la Préfecture. Built according to plans provided by architect Joseph Traxler in 1837, the church Saint-Nicolas-en-City is one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture Arras.
* Saint Gery - rue Neuve du Vivier. Designed by architect Alexander Grigny in the spirit of the Gothic thirteenth century, the church of Saint-Gery was built between 1860 and 1866. In a national context where the "Greeks" (followers of neoclassicism) compete with the "Goths" (followers of the neo-Gothic), Grigny has made a brilliant career at Arras. The hotel Deusy, rue Saint-Aubert, is another example of his work.
* Notre-Dame-des-Ardents - rue Aristide-Briand. Built in 1876, this church of Romano-Byzantine style is the work of architect Norman hesdinois Clovis, a student of Grigny. It respects the style novel Flowery XIIth century, because it commemorates the "miracle of the burning" of 1105. In an apparition, the virgin gives a magical candle to Normand and Ithier. This magical candle will cure the sickness Ardent (a disease caused by ergot) with a few drops of wax.
