  Arras - "Balade à la Citadelle" Postcard / 10x15cm

  The Turenne district, located at the heart of the Citadel of Arras, is an iconic site blending military history and modern redevelopment. Built by Vauban in the 17th century, the citadel served as a strategic fortification, nicknamed "the beautiful but useless" due to its limited defensive role. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it embodies the ingenuity of French military architecture. The Turenne district, once reserved for barracks, has been rehabilitated to host housing, offices, and cultural spaces, becoming a model of urban regeneration. Its historic buildings, carefully restored, coexist with contemporary facilities, making this place a hub of attraction for the city of Arras. This transformation reflects a commitment to preserving heritage while meeting modern needs. The Turenne district thus illustrates the ability of a historically rich site to adapt to the challenges of the 21st century.
