Driving Holidays to St. Omer

St Omer View breaks >>

Saint Omer is a small and sleepy town of art and history, situated 40 miles from Lille. This market town in the marshes has an abundance of fine 17th and 18th century houses. You can take boat trips on its network of canals, also known as water gangs. The town's 13th century cathedral has a 16th century white tower and an impressive art collection including Rubens' Deposition of Christ.

Beer is widely recognised as the town's biggest export and St Omer itself is on the site of a former brewery. Other attractions in the town include the former German V2 rocket base at nearby Helfaut-Wizernes, which has since been transformed into a museum of rocket science and occupied France.

If you are simply looking for rest and relaxation then St Omer is the perfect choice, with much of the town left untouched by modern life. Take the opportunity to explore the town's beautiful gardens, trails and markets, or take a boat trip to take in the sights from a different perspective.

Place Foch

This impressive town square is home to the equally impressive 19th century town hall. Traditional markets are held here every Saturday morning, making way for colourful displays, showing off some of the region's best produce.

Notre-Dame Cathedral

Widely noted as one of France's most spectacular cathedrals, the Notre-Dame took an astonishing three centuries to complete. Inside it's beautiful interior you will find the famous Deposition of Christ, alongside one of the oldest clock faces in the country.

Audomarois Marshes

For unspoilt tranquillity, head to the Audomarois Marshes, France's only remaining cultivated wetlands. Listed as a nature reserve, these marshes are home to some beautiful flora and fauna. Explore the area on one of its many trails.

Mother and daughter sightseeing

Eperlecques Bunker

The foundations of one of the WWII rocket bases, located in the forests of Eperlecques. Listed as an ancient memorial, this 22m high bunker was built and occupied by Nazi Germany in 1943 and is now a monument to the war. (not shown).

People at an art exhibition

Museum of Fine Art

An intriguing museum, close to the stunning Notre-Dame. It houses a huge collection of ancient weapons, furniture and traditional tapestries, as well as beautiful art collections and costume exhibits. (not shown).

Happy couple sightseeing

St. Bertin's Abbey

This magnificent French monastery was founded in the 7th century and spectacularly rebuilt in the 13th century. Much of the stone has been plundered over the years but it's remains are well worth a visit. (not shown).
