The Boves

Excavated from the 10th century onwards, the Boves invite visitors to explore the former limestone quarries beneath the city of Arras. This guided tour follows a specially designed route through the underground galleries, revealing the hidden history of the city.

Originally used for quarrying stone, the Boves later served as cellars, storage areas for market traders and shelters for the people of Arras during the bombing of the Second World War. Today, they bear witness to the many roles these underground spaces have played over the centuries.

Visits are available by guided tour only and last approximately 45 minutes. Advance booking is strongly recommended.

Information about accessibility for visitors with disabilities is available in the accessibility register.
