The Audomarois Marshlands Hire a boat or take a guided ride in traditional wooden bacoves along tree-lined canals buzzing with bird life, where migrating herons stop off and the postman delivers post by boat, the only area in France with such a service to homes which sit on floating islands in the marshes. This 15 square mile network of canals and farmland is unique in France and a UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve. It was started by monks in 638. They diverted the River Aa, divided the land into plots and farmed the land. Today a few dozen market gardeners continue to work the plots. It is the cauliflower capital of France with some 5million grown each year. Visit the Maison du Marais, less than 10 minutes on foot from the centre of Saint- Omer. It’s dedicated to the history of the marshes, features exhibits, an educational garden, and boat tours of the marshes. lamaisondumarais.com/en Marshland activities Meet the last of the Saint-Omer boat makers: In a wooden shed on the edge of the marsh, a team of enthusiasts make up the last Audomarois shipyard in existence. Take a fascinating guided tour, and discover how this family business continues to hand-make the traditional wooden boats of the marshes using 500 year-old plans and wood that is up to 100 years old. You can also hire a boat here: lesfaiseursdebateaux.fr Explore in style: Hire a 2CV, VW camper van or vintage electric bikes for a day, half-day or weekend. les-belles-echappees.com Beer: While you’re at their office, nip to the brewery on the grounds of an extraordinary Abbey.
