Saint-Omer is found to the south-east of Calais, in northern France. Historically a region of marshes, these were in part drained to create a fertile environment for produce - now there are many market gardens in the area.

It has an attractive centre, with numerous impressive 17th century houses and buildings - many in the regions Flemish style - to be admired. These include the City Hall and the Hotel de Berghes (open to the public so you can admire the interior). Some of the notable sights include:

• The public gardens, with a section of the original Vauban fortifications of the town. The gardens are well maintained and with a good range of interesting plants and are difintely worth a visitThe rest of the fortifications were destroyed to create the space for the fashionable wide 19th century boulevards that you see today
• The attractive 14th-15th century Gothic style cathedral and tower
• The ruins of the abbey
• The harbours - Saint-Omer built its prosperity around ships that sailed up the Aa River to carry out their trade.
• The Hotel Sandelin Museum, itself in one of the most outstanding 17th century houses, features a range of exhibits relating the history of the town, and also features fine arts and ceramics displays, each of which offers a high quality collection.
• The Jesuits College chapel and the exhibition inside about the history of the town

Festival of Sacred Art

The Festival of Sacred Art is held in Saint-Omer cathedral for two weeks in June, during which numerous works of art from painters, sculptors, engravers, poets, chorists etc transform the cathedral.
