Arras, France
Often underrated, France’s northern Pas-de-Calais has a mouthwatering food scene, rich in seafood, maroilles cheese, andouillette (offal sausage), and locally brewed beers. A great city break pick is Arras, just over an hour from Calais. Before exploring the belfry and squares of Grand’Place and Place des Héros, head to bakery and tea room Pâtisserie Thibaut for fine French pastries and coffee. For lunch, a firm local favourite is L'Oeuf ou la Poule for its comfort food and warm service; the ‘perfect egg’ and pot chicken are popular picks. For classic and modern, try The French House – everything from French-style chicken biryani to salmon tartare and burgers. For something different, have dinner in the Boves, the tunnels set in former chalk quarries below the city; latest events are provided by the tourist office.
Stay at Grand Place Hotel on the main square with its spacious comfortable rooms, or a 10-minute drive away is the lovely auberge/B&B Plumes et Coton, owned by a Pas-de-Calais greeter (locals who offer complimentary walking tours) whose breakfast alone is worth staying for.
