On Frida 8 AU D O M A R WO UA H ! S aint-Omer, a seat of religion Resulting from the two places of worship founded by Saint Omer, the «town with the lovely steeples» as the diarist Froissart called it, has been the home of many religious communities throughout its history. Promoted to the rank of bishopric when Thérouanne fell in the 16th century, this seat of Catholic instruction enjoyed a revival in the 19th century. This tour links the two points of origin of the town, the old chapel founded by Omer which became a collegial church before being consecrated as the cathedral of Notre Dame D , and Saint-Bertin’s abbey A . Admire the rich architecture and interior decoration of the cathedral* before taking a walk around its close 1 overlooked by the old bishop’s palace 2 (now the law courts). You then walk through the old college quarter which has been dedicated to education for four centuries. Don’t miss the imposing Baroque facade of the Walloon Jesuit chapel 3 with its five beautifully restored storeys. A visit to the heritage room of the library 4 located a few steps away (n°. 40 rue Gambetta) enables you to get a full grasp of the extent of the influence of Saint-Bertin’s abbey. With its stepped gables, the old episcopal seminary 5 recalls the period when the town was under Flemish rule. Note the classical style of the English Jesuits’ College 6 at n°s 45/49 rue Saint Bertin, where some of the Carroll family came to study and went on to become the founding fathers of the USA, and at nos 51/57, admire the «gothic revival» style of Saint-Bertin’s college 7 . Once at the site of the ancient close of Saint-Bertin’s abbey 8 , take in the beauty of the ruins and learn more about how the abbey and cloister were organized by reading the well-presented information boards. At night, the ruins are floodlit to show them off to their best advantage. * an audio guide and leaflet can be picked up from the Tourist Board. T his tour combines some of the main features of the historic centre with a look around the shops. While pavement cafés and shops have now replaced the market stalls, there is still a large market held in the square each Saturday morning. Grande Place D (or place Foch as it is now called), is well named as it measures no less than 18000 square yards, illustrating the former power of the city. A textiles trading town, Saint-Omer used to be one of Europe’s ten largest cities in 1300. The ancient bâtiment de la scelle built in 1593 (now housing the Société Générale bank) used to be an annex of the halle échevinale, the seat of municipal power. It was replaced in the 19th century by a hôtel de ville 9 which also had some commercial functions. The hôtel de ville has been nicknamed the «coffee mill» ever since it was built. Take a look at its outline to see why! And what is even more curious is that it contains within its walls a splendid Italianate theatre which can be visited during European Heritage Days. On the other side of the square, the old bailiwick (now housing the Caisse d’Epargne bank) that used to contain the offices of the king’s representative, stands out with its graceful lines, white stones and statues representing Strength, Justice, Prudence and Temperance. Take the pedestrianized street «des cuisiniers» (of the cooks, now rue Louis Martel) which opens into the place Victor Hugo 10 , the town’s oldest market square, nestling beside the cathedral close. The market used to spill over into the «grosse rue» (rue Carnot) 11 which still has some wine cellars dating back to the middle ages. Further down is the place du Vainquai 12 opposite which was the Wineplache where the barrels of wine used to be unloaded. At the end of the quai des Salines 13 lay the ancient port of the town. From there, goods would be taken up the rue de Dunkerque 14 to the Grande Place A . See how many signs of the town’s centuries-long trading tradition you can find!

It is partly built on the marshes and many of its old canals have now been covered over. By following the docksides and rivers, you will find yourself in the outer districts, or faubourgs, that lie between the town and the marshes. T his tour focuses on the broad avenues of town houses dating back to the 17th and 19th centuries which give the city its particular, almost theatrical, charm. It ends up at the Sandelin Mansion museum A with its fully restored 18th century interior. 17 18 16 A 15 D MUSEUM FG THE SANDELIN MANSION 0.94 t-Omer - Tel: +33.321.38.0 Sain 00 14 rue Carnot - F625 er.fr t-om -sain ville ueil@ musees-acc day: 10.00 am d from Wednesday to Sun Every day for Opening hours: All year roun on bank holidays. ept exc pm 6.00 pm - 12.00 pm / 2.00 groups by prior booking. , other than Saintr 60 and friends of Museum Tariffs: €5.50 - reduced (ove essional, disabled): €3.50.

Starting from the place Victor Hugo D , the tour first takes you past some fine examples of Flemish stepped gable houses lining the rues de l’Ecusserie and Caventou up to the rue SaintBertin 15 . The style of the architecture here is more classical, in stone or brick and dominated by the horizontal lines of the facades. There are also some fine pillared houses near to the close of Saint-Denis 16 . In the rue Saint-Bertin which leads to the close, the unadorned façade of the hôtel de Berghes (n° 20) contrasts with its interior décor which shows how people lived in the 18th century. Take the narrow alleys to the ancient close of Saint-Jean (now called place Saint-Jean) 17 . As soon as you step through the door of the Sandelin Mansion museum A , housed in a classic town house with a courtyard in front and a garden at the back, you are plunged into the atmosphere of how the nobility lived during the Ancien Régime. See some of the masterpieces housed in the collections of medieval art, weapons, ceramics and paintings. In the nearby you can see some other elegant 18th century facades rue Allent and rue de Wissocq 18 . 23 22 It is in the lowest parts of the town, such as the port au lait battu D that you can see the rivers that flow in and out of the city. Visit the Maison du Marais 19 (opening in 2014) to learn about this unique area. After the fortifications were demolished, the newly created boulevard de Strasbourg attracted people who were looking for large plots of land to build their Art Nouveau and Art Déco homes (see n°s 24 and 26, 38 and 39, 76, 80, 94 and 96). Follow the quai des Salines into the old town to see the caserne d’Albret, the old arsenal and the monumental railway station 20 . From the railway station you can choose between two walking tours, both returning to the station: Saint-Omer, marshes-side* takes you to the faubourg de Lyzel 21 where you can see the network of wateringues and the traditional homes of the old market gardening families; Saint-Omer, town-side* takes you along the tow path of the Neufossé canal to the ruins of SaintBertin’s abbey and close. Turn back the same way along the Quai de Commerce 22 20 19 D 24 which follows the line of the old city walls, to reach the faubourg du Haut-Pont via the vast place de la Ghière 23 . The market gardener’s houses reflected in the canal at the front, look onto the marshes at the back. For a greener setting, just a stone’s throw from Place Foch, the beautifully landscaped public gardens** 24 have been installed in the old fortifications. They contain formally laid-out gardens, a pleasant square with bandstand and shrubberies, together with an arboretum which boasts around thirty remarkable species. * leaflet available from the Tourist Board. ** download the mobile application «Walls and Gardens».

T his site really takes us back to the origins of the town! Formerly known as the «bourg» from the Flemish word for castle, this was the very first castle around which the town was built and founded by the first Flemish counts in the tenth century. It is one of Castle on the rare examples of a motte mount of a and bailey castle (castle on earth. a mount of earth) preserved in an urban environment. It previously housed a wooden keep before archaeologists uncovered the old stone keep that had been recorded in some old engravings, together with the thick stone wall that surrounded it. It was the home of the castellan (or chatelain) of Saint-Omer who watched over the 12 AU D O M A R WO UA H ! lands of the castellany on behalf of the count. The keep was later used as a prison. At the start of the 18th century, it was destroyed and replaced some decades later by a prison in the Vauban design. This robust brick and stone three storey edifice is remarkably well preserved and has just undergone restoration. Its jails are now open to visitors who may be in for some surprises… It also contains a series of exhibitions on the role of the town when it was the British Army HQ during the Great War. Gardens extend out from the building and provide a vantage point over the surrounding area, offering a particularly good view of the cathedral and a stunning panorama of the town and its districts. AU D O M A R WO UA H ! 13 THE JESUIT CHAPEL THE JESUIT CHAPEL T he Jesuit Chapel stands out in the urban landscape for its size and vibrant colours. This large edifice illustrates the important place the college of the Walloon Jesuits set up in 1566 held in the town, a seat of learning from the Renaissance to the Revolution. Back when it was founded, the Catholic bishops were in confrontation with the reformation movement. They called upon the help of the Company of Jesus, otherwise known as the Jesuits, to give young people the teaching they believed was right, and to train future He was priests. Saint-Omer thus became one of the inspired main centres of secondary learning and many sù, by Ge schools were established here, including a the Jesuit College of English Jesuits. church in Rome. The chapel was built from 1615 to 1640 by Jean du Blocq (1583-1656), a Jesuit architect 14 AU D O M A R WO UA H ! who designed the cathedral of Luxemburg. He was inspired by Gesù, the Jesuit church in Rome, and combined the Gothic tradition in its structure of ribbed vaults, buttresses and side chapels, with a completely new style based on a single central volume, large scrolls and an impressive facade whose portal was borrowed from the Italian architect Serlio. Current restoration work on the building is revealing the full beauty of its sculptures, particularly those of the facade. The architect wanted us to see that he had read the Art of Building and rediscovered the designs used in antiquity, such as those on the white stone or the intriguing ox skulls featured in the portal. Next to the chapel, the town library has its headquarters in the former boarding school and in the classrooms of the secondary school, rebuilt at the end of the 19th Century. It is organized around a garden and edged by 4 centuries of architecture (building closed to the public).

In the medallion we can see one of the allegorical figures represented: poetry and its phylactery. The three others are: the music and its lyre, the theatre and its mask and dance and its tambourine. n Saint-Omer, hidden in the Town Hall, you can find a small theatre offering forgotten splendour and little known gilding. Built by the architect Pierre Bernard Lefranc, it has the features of the theatre which appeared in Venice in the XVIIe century and is obeying the Italian Nicolas Sabbatini’s ideas: stalls reserved for the popular audience and boxes for the well-off ; a stage with a sloping floor, fixed and mobile sets, and a machinery invisible for spectators. With the difference that, in France, and particularly in our Saint-Omer theatre, each lodge is set back from the lower box, creating a harmonious whole that enhances the richly decorated ceiling and the large chandelier adorned with pendants.This chandelier can be hidden in the ceiling during performances. Colours, sculptures and trompe l’oeil paintings participate in the enchantment that emerges from the ensemble. If your steps lead you to places inaccessible to a mere spectator, you can see the stage house where the machinery is located . However, you won’t see the earthen vases which are embedded in the walls: they contribute, with the wood framing, to offer excellent acoustics. Their use dates back to the ancient theatre and they were also used in the Middle Ages to improve the transmission of sound in some churches. At the opening of the theatre, on October 18, 1840, were played an opera, «The black domino» and a vaudeville, “Aînée et Cadette” (“Elder sister and younger sister”), quickly followed by numerous plays. The contemporary spectator, except if he/ she can be transported back in time, can’t come and sit to applaude the actors as they are bowing, because the theatre has been closed to the public for safety reasons since 1973. But a Break in the silent theatre, close your eyes and imagine that the play is going to begin. trip to the future would make it possible and with a little patience, you’ll also be able to enjoy theatrical performances in this unique setting.

The program takes into account the particular constraints of the place: the stage is not very deep and slightly open, the audience reception capacity is limited (about 350 seats) and there is no orchestra pit but in return, the proximity between the audience and the artists is interesting and creates an atmosphere full of emotion. The project manager also explains the configuration of this place whose function is now The theatre seen by the gallery.

The story of the town is closely linked to water. First of all, Arques was a mill till the French Revolution and then a village depending on the Saint-Bertin Abbey. the church, to discover former industrial architectures (a spinning mill, a brewery...), beautiful mansions made in yellow bricks from the 18th Century and finally the church and the castle with its medieval base. We still can discover treasures of hydraulic engineering of all times as the impressive modern locks. The church, the castle and the houses in front of it are witnesses of its past. The digging of the Neuffossé canal at the end of the 18th Century made the creation from the year 1825 of a first glass-making factory easier. It was situated on its banks near the locks, in a place known as les Fontinettes. It is nowadays the head office of the world tableware leader. The village has become a 10,000 inhabitants city-workshop, where industrial and residential houses are mixed. The boat lift dated 1885, the British engineer Edwin Clarck’s work, is unique in France and was listed in 2014 ; its restoration should begin soon. The big winnowing was made in 1782 in order to regulate the entry of the Aa water into the marshes, through a siphon under the canal. Finally, the river base and its marina replaced former shipyards. One more surprising thing: you can walk through preserved beautiful natural areas as the Malhove ponds, which are the fruit of former quarries, used for industry and the buiding industry, or through the national forest, often named Clairmarais. A square and a city hall / school have been built then at the beginning of the 20th Century, to go from the village centre to the factory and, at the same time, to confirm this new identity. They hide a pleasant public park, crossed by one of the arms of the Aa river. The story of the town is closely linked to water. 26 AU D O M A R WO UA H ! Arques is a pleasant place for a walk.

The location was ideal, right beside the canal for transporting raw materials and exporting sand quarried locally. Throughout the 19th century, the successive factory owners manufactured demijohns and bottles. The factory was bought in 1897 by Prudent Avot, a paper manufacturer in Blendecques. He put Georges Durand at the helm: he proved so successful in managing the business that he took it over in 1916. Business with Britain boomed during the Great War and continued to develop after the war. The glass was still produced manually and in the 1930s the factory produced 10 tonnes of glass per day. After a trip to the USA in 1930, Georges Durand revolutionized the production process with a new kiln, marking the start of mechanized production and diversification (windscreens for cars). He brought his son Jacques into the business and hired engineers to perfect the production machinery. At the end of World War II, his return to the USA heralded the beginning of a new development which included modern machinery, product diversification and innovative new brands, which went on to make the company a household name. The factory was extended beyond the original site, creating a miniature town within the town. Its exports grew and the company changed its name to Arc International, world leader in tableware. AU D O M A R WO UA H ! 29 ARQUES : LES FONTINETTES SHIP LIFT ARQUES : LES FONTINETTES SHIP LIFT T he construction of the Neufosse canal linking the Aa and Lys rivers at Aire-sur-la-Lys began in 1758. With the development of industry in the 19th century, its economic role took precedence over its initial military purpose. The main obstacle in its construction was how to cross the south bank of the Aa valley in the place known as “Les Fontinettes” in Arques. To compensate for the 13.13 meter difference in level, the military engineers had constructed a ladder of seven locks in succession. As traffic on the canal increased, the barges had to wait increasingly longer to cross the locks. In the 1880s, the construction of a hydraulic lift offered a solution to this problem. The call for tenders was won by the English engineer Edwin Clark, who was to work with a French engineer called Bertin. The work entailed building a structure made up of three brick towers This construction is which guided two mobile metal chamthe only one of its bers, driven by 2 meter diameter piskind in France. tons. Gantry cranes upstream and downstream of this structure would open the gates to allow the barges (Freycinet type 38.5 x 5 meters) to enter and exit the lift. The metal chambers were sealed by means of a rubber air cushion. At the highest point, two railway bridges were built over the canal. The manoeuvres, requiring six men and taking only 20 minutes, were controlled from a cab at the top of the central tower. With new European canal gauges, the lift became too small and had to be closed in 1967. This construction is the only one of its kind in France. It became a listed building in 2014 and will undergo restoration in 2016.

Thérouanne was already the capital of the Morini, a people of Belgian Gaul. After it was conquered by Caesar, it became a crossroads of Roman roads and a major town developed there. T Spain besieged the city which was a French enclave in the Spanish Netherlands, and had it completely rased to the ground in 1553, thus creating one of the rare examples of “dead towns” in Europe and a remarkable archaeological site.

We also get a glimpse of the everyday lives of the people who lived there. Thérouanne also extended to some outlying districts, Nielles along the riverside being one of the best preserved of these. After multiple invasions by Germanic tribes, it became the seat of one of the most powerful bishoprics when Omer was appointed its first bishop in 683. Several cathedrals were built there one after the other and walls were built around the city. Charles V of The outline of the ancient city can still be seen in the landscape.

The town was reconstructed in the 17th and 18th centuries, with elegant white stone and brick town houses lining the square and nearby streets. The facades of the most opulent of these houses, such as that of the former senator Louis Boudenot, are decorated with faces, animals and arabesques. Its museum is named after the local priest, Nestor Delétoille, also an avid collector and historian with a flamboyant personality. Fruges was also the birthplace of the novelist Marguerite Duras’ mother in 1877. Fruges is still a bustling market town with plenty going on. The elegant town hall, built around 1840, still contains a weight-driven clock from 1901. The products made in the town would be sold in the local fairs and markets. While there were already some cobblers in the town in 1473, the craft really developed from the 18th century will the arrival of a tannery. It is the gasworks, tile and brick works, and of course the Dechamps marble works that is still in operation today and made many of the region’s war memorials, that put Fruges on the map. With the arrival of the railways at the end of the 19th century, the rue de la Gare developed around the station, with a ballroom and cinema and houses built in the style of a seaside resort. From there, the rue des Digues was always a nice place for a stroll along the Traxène river to the Bât-l’Eau watermill.

If the architectural heritage of the city is fabulous, you shouldn’t miss its marshes which is not less sumptuous. Recently recognized by the UNESCO, it undoubtedly deserves a visit and attention. L a Maison du Marais (“the marshes house”), a 5-minute walk from the town centre, is a place dedicated to this wonderful environment shaped by human hands. Whether you are a novice or an insider visitor, you can find a lot to enjoy in these places. La Maison du Marais organizes outdoor or indoor activities, for the enjoyment of young and old alike. In La Maison du Marais All through the year, la Maison du Marais offers two staged exhibitions: a tem- 50 AU D O M A R WO UA H ! porary exhibition and a permanent exhibition. They demonstrate how lively and well-diversified the marshes is. The permanent exhibition addresses a variety of topics related to the marshes. It enables us to bury ourselves in this environment and discover its history and formation, its activities and jobs, its fauna and flora, traditions and legends. The exhibitions are translated into English and Dutch and are also accessible to the visually impaired. Its path, adapted to children, gives the opportunity to have a good time with family. Visitors can also enjoy free access to the waterside restaurant and terrace, an opportunity to taste local produces. As for the shop, it sells books and produces with a direct link to the marshes. To carry on with the getaway Discovering the marshes of Saint-Omer, it is primarily spending some time sailing along its meanders. La Maison du Marais offers several types of outings in barges (called “bacôves”). A surprising moment in nature which will leave you an unforgettable experience. Explorers will have the choice between a classic outing, “La balade sur le marais” (“a ride on a boat on the marshes”) and the ride “déjeuner sur l’eau” (“lunch on the marshes”) that will appeal to those fond of good food. To catch other colours or sounds from the marshes, you can choose the ride “fin de journée” (“end of the day”). In the evening, the fauna has gradually reclaimed the scene and the brightness begins to change. Some poetry over water. For the more adventurous, La Maison du Marais offers three times a week the “escapade nocturne” (“the night ride”). If the first part of it is in the daylight, the fair-weather sailors will be guided by the moon on their way back. Night gives another dimension to the sounds of owls and brings the marshes all its magic. The last half an hour of this adventure is dedicated to the tales and legends of the marshes, younger ones are very fond of that. Finally the “balade décalée” (“off the wall ride”) is for those who wish to feel the marshes differently. For this ride, the usual guides give way to a historic character who invites himself/herself to punctuate this tour with anecdotes and bursts of laughter about the marshes. Whatever your desires and expectations, whatever your knowledge, you can find at La Maison du Marais something to surprise your eyes, taste buds and ears. At the heart of the marshes, the ride will make you enter into a wild world, a surprising world that will fascinate the whole family. A wonderful moment of leisure, culture and nature.
