Notre-Dame Cathedral of Saint-Omer (Saint-Omer, France).

Surely this is a particularly lavish cathedral. The pictures speak for themselves. There is even a Rubens hanging. The cathedral receives more than 200,000 visitors a year.

Combine a visit to this cathedral with, for example, the "La Station" project (these are the renovated station buildings). Meanwhile, spend time visiting the ruins of the old abbey.

Connecting catering establishment: theesalon "Le Passage Merveilleux" operated near (and by) the Tourist Office. Good for a nice piece of cake or pie along with a coffee, tea or chocolate milk.

Tip: combine a visit to the nature reserve with, for example, a visit to the ponds of Romelaëre (a few kilometers away), "La Coupole" or "Eperleques", so you immediately have a full day's program.
