Very interesting. I had no idea of their existence. I wanted to feature your post on my Wednesday bloggers round-up(reproduce a paragraph and a photo with a click to the actual post) but I see I can’t “copy-paste”. Would you agree to my doing so?
Fraussie, I’ve emailed you with the text. Feel free to use it! 🙂
How fascinating. Arras was one of the cities I wanted to visit when we were in France but we’ll have to do that next time. I loved learning about all the WWI and WWII history in the region.
I have a friend in Arras who tells me it’s changed a lot since he was a kid – much nicer now than it was then, and they’re embracing their history at last. For instance, these caves were only reopened to the public around four years ago!
