Waterways and Paths
The Scarpe crosses Saint-Nicolas-lez-Arras and flows there into the canalised Scarpe. This canalised Scarpe also runs through Saint-Nicolas-lez-Arras and, with its towpath, offers a route for soft mobility.
A historic footpath has also been created in Saint-Nicolas-lez-Arras, allowing visitors to explore the town from a historical perspective. Another historical circular route covers 4 km and includes 18 points featuring images of the town from before and during the First World War.
Those who choose Saint-Nicolas as a place to stay will want to rent a holiday apartment there.
History and Culture
The Écluse des 4 crics also marks an important date in the history of the local waterways: in 1620, the first boat used the lock to reach the Méaulens basin, a small port in Arras.
Saint-Nicolas-lez-Arras is also associated with a work by Camille Corot. His painting “Le Moulin de Saint-Nicolas-lez-Arras” is dated 1874.
Public Facilities
The municipal media library serves the entire population. Its public services cover leisure, culture, information, education and documentation.
At the toy library, visitors can play freely on site during opening hours. For borrowing, the toy library provides board games exclusively.
Festivals
In Saint-Nicolas, a community festival is celebrated over several days at the beginning of June. The Saint-Nicolas festival takes place on the first weekend of December.
