A
COUNTRY
OF
HISTORY,
WATER
AND
FIRE
…REVEALS
ITS
MYSTERIES
The
area
of
Saint‐Omer
has
stayed
true
to
itself
and
unspoilt.
Its
architectural
heritage
and
its
monuments
are
witness
to
the
wealth
of
its
history.
One
of
the
jewels
in
its
crown
is
the
Notre
Dame
cathedral,
a
masterpiece
of
gothic
architecture.
At
each
step,
Saint‐ Omer,
classified
as
a
«
Town
of
Art
and
History
»
offers
you
a
view
of
one
of
its
church
towers
or
stately
homes.
The
Audomarois
marshland,
a
magical,
unique
place
in
the
Parc
Naturel
Régional
des
Caps
et
Marais
d’Opale,
has
an
amazing
range
of
flora
and
fauna,
just
waiting
to
be
discovered
via
its
1000
km
of
footpaths
and
100
km
of
canals.
