A low key Wednesday evening

After our long day at memorials on the battlefields, we kept a low profile in Arras on Wednesday night. We returned to the hotel and met again downstairs for a walk to the central square, a gorgeous space, rebuilt after the destruction of the war, with Flemish-inspired buildings lining it all around.




Our stroll's destination was the restaurant from the night before for dinner, and the camera managed to make its way round to every table for a photo.










It was straight to bed after dinner, as we had another early morning appointment with the Somme!
