Beaurains (French pronunciation: [boʁɛ̃]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region in northern France. [3]
A suburban town located 3 miles (5 km) south of Arras at the junction of the N17 with the D5 road.
The first church here was built in 674. In the 12th century, the parish council created an important
leprosarium that treated
Jean Bodel, a French poet.
On 21 December 1922, a large
treasure was discovered dating from the
Roman era. Known as the
Beaurains Treasure, much was squandered and the little that remains is now at
Arras. However, a silver
candelabra, gold coins and some jewellery from the treasure are also in the
British Museum.
[4]
The commune was all but destroyed during the
First World War.
