This lake is an old quarry with a depth of 3 to 11 meters and an area of 2 hectares. Here you can fish for carp, trout, pike and other species, or simply relax on the shore and admire the view.

The city concentrates a significant number of economic activities and services: commerce, crafts, etc. The Saint-Paul parish church with its unusual architecture does not go unnoticed. At the beginning of the 20th century, Saint-Pol and the Ternois remained outside the industrial revolution. Only the textile industry and a few agri-food industries are present.

The ornate town hall, built of brick and stone, dates from the 16th century. It was once the palace of Mary of Hungary, the sister of Charles V. The central loggia depicts Philip IV of Spain and Isabella of Bourbon, surrounded by the Seven Virtues. The loggia (bay window) dates from the time when the palace was converted into a town hall (1629); The roof was added in 1702. The mayor can address the people from here. The belfry is on the UNESCO world heritage list

Superb mountain biking descent in the woods, steep on a narrow path with an arrival at the church. The disc brakes were helpful😁.
