The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small 4-spot parking near Arras Citadel, reserved for small vans and campers (max 5.60 m). Very quiet, tree-lined setting at forest edge, ideal for overnight stay before exploring the Citadel on foot or by bike. No facilities. Access challenging via narrow streets. A few safety concerns reported.
Highlights
- Very peaceful, especially in the evenings
- Wooded setting close to nature and a park
- Close to the citadel and town center (20-30 min walk)
- Designed for small vans and campervans with clear boundaries
Good to know
- Access is difficult due to one-way streets and confusing signage
- Limited space: max 5.6 meters (some reviews mention up to 7 meters with difficulty)
- No services or amenities
- Isolated security incidents reported late at night
Motorhome access : Difficult access: many one-way streets, poor signage. Prefer Rue Berthe Wallett, Rue Georges Santerne, or Rue Louis Helle. Tricky maneuvers to reach the parking itself.
