Les Piquinettes, an open-air bar/restaurant by the water and fields in the heart of the Saint-Omer marsh
45 minutes from Calais, Boulogne-sur-mer and Dunkirk, the audomarois marshes spreads over 3700 hectares with its 700 kilometers of canals. This unique setting, recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is one of the top destinations in Nord-Pas-de-Calais. It is in this natural space that the last traditional boat makers of Audomarois offer guided tours of the Saint-Omer and Clairmarais marshes, discoveries in the workshop and unusual meals.
Indeed, the artisans accompanied by Annie Colin and Loïc Boulier, chef and market gardener in organic farming, offer fresh, seasonal and local meals from April to October on their terrace. These meals, ideally coupled with a visit to the marsh by boat, are a fitting addition to an association outing, a family event or a business seminar (unusual meeting, team building, etc.)
A simple outdoor meal for couples, families and groups of up to 100 people that can be enjoyed on our covered terrace.
A takeaway formula for groups >20 people.
The menu includes:
The price is 15,5€/person and 10€/child under 13 years old.
The aperitif supplement: local appetizers and regional aperitif (kir-cocktail of red fruits with juniper from Houlle)*: €7/person (€3,5/child with non-alcoholic drink).
Opportunity to enjoy a mixed salad during a guided taste tour along the water. See our gourmet cruise program here.

Hello, It was a great family discovery among the family of "boat makers". I strongly recommend, Visit the market garden marshes, you will discover a surprising atmosphere very close to nature over the water. Nadine, her grown children and her grandson.
