Tips from the Community
The ruins of the old church of Ablain-Saint-Nazaire are an impressive and symbolic remnant of the First World War. This church, built in the 16th century in flamboyant Gothic style by Jacques Le Caron, was heavily damaged during the fighting in 1915. The ruins have been preserved as a monument to commemorate the horrors of war.

A remarkable story about the ruins concerns the decision not to rebuild the church after the war. Although the church had been classified as a historical monument in 1908, the Commission for Historical Monuments decided that the ruins should remain as a testimony to the German destruction. Ironically, it was the French guns that had destroyed the church, but the ruins became a symbol of the war and the reconstruction.

The two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi dominate the Arras region. They can be seen from afar. They shape the landscape of the Artois plains. They are a landmark for those walking in the surrounding area. Located on a hill seven kilometers northwest of Arras, the two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi are the monumental remains of an abbey with a thousand-year history. Listed as a historical monument since 1921 and owned by the Pas-de-Calais Department since 2008, the two towers are the subject of a scientific and cultural project to raise awareness and promote their heritage. Between 2010 and 2015, the Department carried out restoration work, and its archaeology department conducted six excavations.
