A meal by the water in the Audomarois marsh

Les Piquinettes, an open-air bar/restaurant by the water and fields in the heart of the Saint-Omer marsh

Just 45 minutes from Calais, Boulogne-sur-Mer, and Dunkirk, the Audomarois marshland stretches across 3700 hectares with its 700 kilometers of canals. This unique setting, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is one of the top destinations in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. It is in this natural area that the last traditional boat builders of the Audomarois offer guided tours of the Saint-Omer and Clairmarais marshes, visits to their workshops, and unique dining experiences.

Indeed, from April to October, local artisans offer fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced meals on their terraces. These meals, ideally combined with a boat trip through the marsh, perfectly complement an association outing, a family event, or a corporate seminar (unusual meeting, team building, etc.).
