To come by bus
Our site is located in a natural, non-concrete environment, surrounded by bridges limited to vehicles weighing less than 6 tonnes.
We would like to inform bus drivers of the work carried out on rue de la Poissonnerie in Saint-Omer, which is preventing buses from passing through Saint-Omer via the Haut-Pont district. Due to the low height of the SNCF bridges in the Lyzel district (3m), it is essential that the driver go through Clairmarais (taking via Arques depending on your starting point if the bus is less than 3,8m high or via The Nieppe if the bus is over 3,8m). Once on the road to Clairmarais, passengers must be dropped off at the “pont Mathilde” stop, 100 m from us. The bus must then park in the Lyzel car park, rue St Martin, 1 km from our site.
You will find all the additional information and updates of the route plan for the buses on: https://groupes-maraisaudomarois.fr/infos-chauffeurs/
