Gates
of Arras and Saint-Omer During the dismantling of 1893, the mayor André Faucquette wanted to preserve a monument pointing out the wall belt. Thus the Gate of Arras and the Gate St-Omer were run away. Dismounted then rebuilt, but coupled, they form a triumphal arch on the municipal stage. This reconstitution makes it possible to measure the narrowness of the tunnel of access crossing the rampart. Formerly, the exiguÏty of the input did not facilitate circulation and Friday, market day, the peasants of the hamlets waited several hours before entering downtown. |
