Saint-Omer trip planner

Saint-Omer in the Pas-de-Calais department is the starting point for the canals radiating out from the river Aa with a diverse population. You can visit small ethnic, linguistic, and immigrant communities, such as the Haut-Pont, a heavily West Flemish community proud of its Flemish and Belgian roots. In the southeast, a newly formed Turkish neighborhood comprises a lively community of Christian-based Turks who established the neighborhood after World War I to escape religious persecution. Genealogists studied how thousands of locals have British, Dutch, German, Austrian, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, and Polish relatives as a result of the region's mining and glass manufacturing industries, primarily the closed Luminix factory.
