Arras, France

We have arrived!

Today we’re chilling out, walking around the city, seeing the sites. We went to the tourist office to get our pilgrim’s passport stamped and ask about Vimy Ridge and the underground tours. The underground tours start right at the tourist office and the next available tour is 14:30. The office closes for lunch, as do many other establishments, something that one has to consider and get used to when in Europe. The office opens again at 14:00. We have about 2 hours to kill so we go for lunch at Emilie & Cool Kids
