The Boves

Les boves d'Arras: a funny name for an original walk in the bowels of the town. Discover these former chalk quarries, a veritable underground labyrinth. Are you ready to dive to a depth of 12 metres?

It's a unique experience. With a temperature of 11°C all year round and 80% humidity, you can experience history at close hand.

The boves of Arras were dug as early as the 9th century to build the town's religious buildings and first ramparts. From the 12th century onwards, with the development of the market, other extraction sites were favoured. The boves then became storage cellars for merchants.
