Arras boasts an array of boutiques, town markets and speciality shops. The fish market is found in the Place du marché aux poisons, a semi circular square designed in the 19th century and located in the eastern side of town. Famous for its Delemer china in the 18th century, Arras has in recent years experienced a revival of the famed fine china tradition, through Etablissments Caudron, who has rediscovered the composition of the beautiful Arras Blue colouring. The bramble print is also famous to Arras.

Arras also houses an array of antique dealers where you can find many treasures, from antique furniture to old books.
