General information about the Romelaëre Ponds
Officially, the ponds of Romelaëre, a particularly beautiful natural preserve, are called "Réserve naturelle nationale des étangs du Romelaëre" (in Clairmarais). For the French, this is of national importance. That says it all. 
We visited this park, which is 104 hectares in size, in the summer of 2020 and can only confirm that this is a very well maintained and beautiful nature reserve . Everything takes place around the canals, ponds, bridges, chain boxes... and so on in the marshland of Saint-Omer (Saint-Omer). We also saw a very wide variety of common and aquatic plants (more than 200 species). Beautifully landscaped and easily accessible hiking trails (also doable for families with children). Frequented by many fishermen : there are dozens of specially maintained spots for them.
This unique wetland "Marais audomarois" has not gone unnoticed by UNESCO either. In 2013, it was recognized by UNESCO as the twelfth biosphere reserve in France ("réserve de biosphère de France"). Read more about this on Wikipedia.
