I've looked around the net and can find info for the Christmas markets but is there likely to be any kind of celebration/ceremony at midnight on New Years eve? Are the cafe's likely to stay open to see in the New Year? I have spent New Year in Boulogne where some places stayed open and it was fairly low key. That will do as long as not everywhere closes!! Thanks for any advice.
I too am looking for info about Arras over the New Year. We have managed to book a restaurant for the 30th but are concerned there may not be anywhere open to eat on the 31st and 1st .... don't really fancy having to go to the motorway services to find a meal! Any advice would be appreciated.
Arras has the two most beautiful squares of Nord-Pas-de-Calais: Place des Héros and Grand'Place. These cobbled squares are surrounded with 155 houses in Flemish baroque style. It's quite impressive viewing the uninterrupted alignment of beautiful houses for the first time.
We used the GR 127 (long distence footpath ) . This trail go from Arras to Boulogne-Sur-Mer.
The book we use (french writen) is Tours dans le Pas de Calais . It descrive the way . Give many useful informations: distances, possibilities (sleeping, eating, transportations,...) on the way.
Also give a (short) information about the places you come along. Important is the maps (on 1/50000) where the trail is marked with a red line. The way is (good) marked with withe and red coulours.

Nous avons utilisé le Grande Randonnée GR127 : Ce sentier vous conduit de Arras à Boulogne sur Mer .
Le topo-guide utilisé est écrit en Français et à pour titre "Tours en Pas de Calais".Outre une description du parcours à suivre , il vous donne un tas d'informations historiques mais également pratiques (hôtels, bus, distances...)
Également d'une aide appréciable sont les cartes à l'échelle 1/50000 marquée du parcours à suivre. Le sentier est également (bien) marqué sur le terrain à l'aide de balises de couleurs blanches et rouges.
---oooOOOooo--- You better use good walking boots , a good backpack, don't forget any food and drink. there are not possibilities every where.
---oooOOOooo---
Des bottines de marches sont grandement conseillées! Un bon sac au dos contenant un peu de nourriture, boissons et habits vous préservant de la pluie n'est également pas un luxe inutile car le ravitaillement n'est pas possible partout !

That stories it could tell us, crossing the fury of the men and time...

Fier et indestructible, ce témoin du passé veille, autoritaire, sur le petit village depuis des siècles. Au coeur d'une petite vallée verdoyantes, je suis sûr qu'il vous racontera, comme il l'a fait à moi-même les anecdotes de son histoire dans la traversée de l'histoire et du temps .
Visites commentées et guidées pour les groupes sur rendez-vous. Ouvert le dimanche après midi en saison. La visite dure environ 1h à 1h15 et est gratuite.

The biggest and most beautiful square of Arras, Grand'Place, is located just one street away from the other famous square, Places des Héros.
Grand’Place housed rich agricultural and seed merchants. Their houses dated from the 17th and 18th centuries but were largely demolished during the Great War. They were reconstructed stone by stone after 1918, faithfully following their previous appearance (even though they were formerly wooden, instead of stone and brick). The facades present a number of sculptured signboards, such as bells, helmets, sheaves of wheat and cauldrons.
Contrary to other squares in Arras, you cannot park above but beneath the square.
The Cathedral was founded in 667 on La Madeleine Hill where Saint Vaast used to pray, and was entirely rebuilt in the 18th century.
Nowadays, the cathedral looks a bit neglected. I don't know whether the inside is worth seeing because the cathedral is only open for tourists in the afternoon from 2 p.m. and we were there at 1 p.m. :-(
