The Saint-Vaast abbey church, completed in 1833, became a cathedral replacing the N.D.-de-la-Cité. A monumental staircase leads to the classical facade. The interior is light and has an antique stateliness. Nave, transept and choir are separated by columns with Corinthian capitals. The statues of saints (19th century) come from the Pantheon of Paris. In the right transept there are frescoes (including Saint Vedastus taming a bear). On either side of the altar are a "Birth of Christ" and "Resurrection" (Desvallières).

The Faubourg d'Amiens was already a killing ground when the British relieved the French army in Arras and the surrounding area in 1916. The French cemetery has now disappeared and only soldiers from the Commonwealth countries are buried there, as well as some German prisoners of war. The Memorial commemorates the 35,928 British, New Zealand and South African fighters who fell in this area and whose bodies have not been recovered. Be sure to check out the flying Services memorial in the semi-circular building close to the Pierre du Souvenir. The square column crowned with a globe bears the names of the 991 British air force pilots who died in the First World War.

Beautiful place, but less and less visible due to privatization. Duisans had two water mills. This is located on the Scarpe in the hamlet of Louez and is a grain mill.
