Voie verte Coulogne - Guîne

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A quiet cycle route, partly through the Guînes marshes, in an area rich in canals. Here and there, you'll have to cross a lane. In the sections where you ride close to the canal, lights flicker in the dark.

Saint-Omer station

Highlight • Monument

Located in Saint-Omer, France, the Gare de Saint-Omer has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. The first version of the station opened on September 1, 1848, as part of the railway line from Lille to Calais. The original building was modest and located outside the city walls, between the Porte de Lyzel and the Porte du Haut-Pont.
In 1904, a new, monumental station building was inaugurated, designed by the architect Clément Ligny. This building, with its neoclassical architecture, was built with high-quality materials such as blue stone from Soignies and white stone from Creil. The design reflects the grandeur of a 17th-century castle, complete with symmetrical pavilions and decorative elements such as triglyphs and pediments.
