The Fontaine du Pont-de-Cité or Fontaine de Neptune is a fountain in Arras, France, located on the Place du Pont-de-Cité, on the corner of Rue du 29-Juillet and Rue Saint-Aubert. The fountain was built between 1864 and 1865 and was designed by François Constant Bourgois. The sculpture that adorns the fountain, called “Fleuve”, was made by Vital-Dubray and was cast by the fonderie Ducel in Pocé-sur-Cisse. The fountain is a major landmark in Arras and has been a historic monument since 1988.

The Château de Givenchy-le-Noble is a castle in Givenchy-le-Noble. The castle was built in 1716 by François de Lelès, an adviser to the Aides d'Artois, whose coat of arms is visible on the pediment. The facades, roofs, entrance gate and pilasters of the castle have been partially registered as a historical monument since May 12, 1976. The castle consists of a central body with five bays and two wings, each two bays long. The central body has a forebody crowned with a little developed pediment.

The Château de Lignereuil is a castle in Lignereuil. The castle was destroyed by fire in the past and was renovated in the second half of the 20th century.

This road is 1800 meters long and is flanked by a double row of centuries-old lime trees that are included in the inventory of historical monuments.

By its very heterogeneity, the SAINT-SULPICE CHURCH constitutes a particularly evocative example of the rural sanctuaries of Artois, for the most part rebuilt at the end of the Middle Ages on foundations which may date back to the 12th or 13th century, but noted at several times between the 16th and the beginning of the 18th century, following sackings committed by imperial and French troops.
