Town Hall Café

Highlight • Other

Fifteen minutes north of Saint-Omer, the Café de la Mairie is a place where you can enjoy traditional dishes in a friendly atmosphere.
This charming tavern with its chalk façade, typical of country life, is located on the square of Tournehem-sur-la-Hem. It is an essential place on the Via Francigena route. Nicole shares with you her good mood, her Flemish cutlet, her old games (Nicolas billiards and rommelspel) and... her guestbook. A very pleasant stop.
The walking tavern Café de la Mairie has the Caps et Marais d'Opale Regional Natural Park Values label.

Specialities: soup, croque-monsieur and croque-madame, sandwiches, Flemish cutlet, potchevelch and farmer's pie.

The plus points of this little café... bread depot, regional products, sweets, fishing tackle and bait. And above all... they have Belgian beers!

Former watermill

Highlight • Other

This former water mill was built at the end of the 18th century with stones from the castle ruins that once belonged to Anton of Burgundy. Proof of this can be found on a lintel bearing the coat of arms and motto ‘Nul ne s’y frotte’ (nobody touches it) of Anton of Burgundy. Anton of Burgundy (1421-1504) was knighted into the Order of the Golden Fleece. The typical chain of this order is also visible on the lintel around the shield.
