Douai
We visited the old town of Douai on our way back from the city of Arras is about 16 miles away and well worth a visit. So is the battlefield and museum at Vimy Ridge
Douai was badly damaged in both World Wars luckily the large Gothic bellfry is still there on rue de la Mairie. The bells ring every 15 mins. You can see the belfry in the first photo. We visited the town just before Christmas 2008 to see the Christmas market on Place d`Armes
Place d`Armes.
Douai has a easy to walk round town centre starting at Place d`Armes. The streets off are packed with shops and cafe bars.
Douai Place d`Armes and Bread shop

Ibis Hotel Douai
The Ibis Douai Centre hotel is located in a listed 18th century monument in the heart of the historic town centre of Douai.
The hotel is close to the Music Conservatorium and the library and just 200 m from the Bellfry.

Douai places to see the old buildings along the River Scarpe.The town is built between the river and a canal. There are boat trips in summer on both. It was to cold to hang around so we will have to go back in summer
