Jardin Public

Come and relax in this remarkable garden! Separated from the town by the Boulevard Vauban, Saint-Omer's public gardens offer a variety of settings: a regular garden, an English-style landscaped park, an arboretum, a conservatory of Vauban's fortifications... In fact, in the last decade of the 19th century, Saint-Omer underwent one of its biggest changes with the dismantling of its ramparts. Only part of the western front of the fortifications was preserved and developed. The public garden, with its rich and varied flora, kiosk, waterfall and furnishings, became the place to go for a stroll and to meet the locals.

Guided tours accompanied by a Pays d'art et d'histoire guide are organised on a regular basis. Information is available from the Pays de Saint-Omer Tourist Office and in our "diary" section.
