Saint-Omer – September 2008
Saint-Omer is a commune in France.
It is a commune and sub-prefecture of the Pas-de-Calais department 68 km (42 mi) west-northwest of Lille on the railway to Calais. The town is named after Saint Audomar, who brought Christianity to the area.
The canalised portion of the river Aa begins at Saint-Omer, reaching the North Sea at Gravelines in northern France. Below its walls, the Aa connects with the Neufossé Canal, which ends at the Lys River.
You can find my post on Notre-Dame Cathedral, St. Omer and the tomb of Saint Erkembode here.
Stunning of course. I don’t know it, though know Lille and have been there a few times.
It was nice for a day trip. I have visited Lille too and I even passed through it on my way back to England yesterday.
i really liked the front view of the place as well as the burst of colourful flowers.
Thank you
It is a nice town to visit.
Such a lovely place!
