What travellers are saying
- WhittlesfordHaselbury Plucknett, UK611 contributionsAn immensely interesting cathedral, which is beautifully maintained and has a lovely atmosphere. Two things which are of particular interest are the magnificent Lavaillé-Coll organ, which was being played while we were visiting, and the memorial corner remembering the dead of the First World War and featuring the flag of 16 Squadron RAF, which was created in St Omer in 1915. There is much more, including an astronomical clock, tombs of various folk and a door which was used by the "victorious" Louis XIV.Written October 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sid8775Ipswich, UK326 contributionsWhilst in the area we visited a couple of times. The flower gardens are very pretty and there are nice walks through the wooded bit. There is even a play park for the children. At the time of visiting there was a carousel there too. The cafe did some amazing waffles and the coffee wasn’t bad either. The ladies working the cafe didn’t speak much English but they were very patient with us and our bad French. Only this I would say is the park has a lot of steps.Written August 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tikki2015De Haan, Belgium547 contributionsAlthough it was a sunny sunday, I counted only some one hundred people on the site. Talking with french people from the region , they don't make a lot of publicity around. We saw thousands of birds from the observatory like cormorans . We did the great tour of 6 miles and did not regret that. Parking is free and entrance too. Just great.Written June 17, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- johnspeedsterLondon, UK128 contributionsThis market is worth making a special trip to France for from anywhere. We first visited St Omer and this market about five years ago and decided on this holiday from New Zealand we had to go again. It was even better this time. A lovely sunny day helps of course, but what stands out is the quality of produce. I took a video of the first vege stall we came to the produce was so nice and the presentation equally good, but then there were ten more stalls equally good. I do always ask permission to take photos and often have fun banter with stall holders! There were eight rotisserie trucks there I reckon and who can walk past these without wishing to buy and eat? As we were moving on that afternoon, we just bought a rack of ribs (absolutely delicious) and sat on the church step to eat them along with the most amazing pastries. Fruit, veges, meat, fish, clothes, toys, even a stall with bicycles and parts! The only thing missing was rubbish and junk that you so often find at markets. Oh dear, I must get back there asap!Written June 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Haje1946_11Purmerend192 contributionsHaving missed visiting this museum a few times before because it was closed, we finally succeeded on an afternoon. We started by visiting its most interesting pieces, two beautifully decorated rooms, with carved wooden paneling depicting allegories of spring, summer, autumn and winter, later on also Flemish paintings, some statues, and lots of mainly locally produced earthenwares and porcelains. Quite a varied collection, certainly worth a visit.Written May 25, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sid8775Ipswich, UK326 contributionsPopped here whilst out for a walk in Saint Omer. There are some information boards, which if I remember correctly were only in French so some translation needed. The ruins that are still standing are walled off, for good reason (graffiti). The rest of the building is marked out with raised grass beds, very impressive. Only suggestion would be to have a model of what the building looked like. Worth a visit if passing by.Written August 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- John RLondon, UK361 contributionsWe have been coming to St Omer for many years but had not noticed this recent addition to its historic sites. Apparently it opened to the public in 2015 and this year we walked up the courtyard off of the road down from the abbey.
Our arrival coincided with a free tour of the dungeons where we were taken through a series of cells with great bolted wooden doors with dates carved into them dating back centuries.
Afterwards we looked at the exhibition of First World War photographs showing St Omer's involvement.

The staff don't speak too much English but they made our visit extra special by giving us a tour in the best English they could speak it was wonderful we have never been made so welcome. I would like to know more about the German communications side of the bunker. But a wonderful group of people made our visit a lovely afternoon out.

- NIck MLondon, UK9 contributionsA nice well appointed office with multi lingual staff. It is a bit hidden away.

- AvidTraveler12Winchester, UK1,824 contributionsThis part of France, right the way down to Normandy are littered with WWI and WWII war graves. This particular cemetery is similar to all other war cemeteries in the area is kept in pristine condition.
I was more interested in the WWII graves and the majority are from the BEF whom the lucky ones were evacuated from Dunkirk. The unlucky ones are buried here and in numerous other cemeteries near by.Written June 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
