General presentation
Saint-Omer and the Audomarois Marshes
Cultured marais, boats, heritage town, dome, belfry and Flemish countryside.
The discovery of Saint-Omer and Aodomarois marshes revolves around Aodomarois Marais, Saint-Omer and La Coupole. The stay thus alternates between riverscapes, heritage, countryside and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: wet weather possible. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Natural site
Audomarois marshes
The Aodomarian marsh mixes canals, garden gardens, flat boats and wet meadows around Saint-Omer. On the water or from the roads, the landscape is discovered in detail: willows, low houses, cultivated plots and reflections that change at the slightest cloud passage.
City
Saint-Omer
Saint-Omer is read by the continuity between historic centre and water passages, with a human-scale city atmosphere. By moving forward without a rigid route, visual cues follow each other naturally: squares, alleyways, canal edges. The city is more distinguished in the morning light.
Memorial site
La Coupole
The Cupola impresses with its form and the power of its material memory. The visit is better by going through it in depth: outdoors, access, structural details, and a wider look at the surrounding site. This rhythm avoids overload of information and highlights the impact of the place.
