An emblematic figure of the French Revolution, Maximilien Marie Isidore de Robespierre was born in Arras<\/strong> on May 6, 1758, into a small noble family.
\nSoon orphaned at the age of six, he was educated at the Coll\u00e8ge des Oratoriens in the Artois capital, then at the Lyc\u00e9e Louis-Le-Grand in Paris.
\nFascinated by Rousseau’s ideas, he returned to Arras in 1781, where he lived until 1789, practicing as a lawyer in the house you can still see today when strolling along rue Saint Aubert (above, rue Robespierre).
\nIt has been possible to visit this house for some time now; the residence, closed to the public for many years, was opened to the public through the efforts of an Arrage association, as shown below. <\/p>\n

When can I visit Robespierre’s house in Arras?<\/h2>\n

It’s possible to visit the home of the illustrious revolutionary on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays<\/strong> (as well as public holidays) from 3pm to 6pm, thanks to the Association des Amis de Robespierre (ARBR).
\nPlease plan your visit well in advance (at least 15 days in advance), as it is by appointment only, by contacting the association on 06 81 72 82 66 or the Arras Tourist Office.
\nA brochure entitled “In Robespierre’s footsteps” is also available for the visit.  \"rue While you’re there, take a look at the Place du Th\u00e9\u00e2tre, the Palais Saint-Vaast and theH\u00f4tel de Gu\u00eenes<\/a>.
