With the Omerveilleux Pass

I tested a weekend with an Omerveilleux Pass

If you want to spend an unforgettable weekend in Saint-Omer, do what I did! Take out an Omerveilleux Pass. This card, which offers a range of free activities for 24, 48 or 72 hours, is a real money-saver and a great way to make the most of your spending. The proof is in the pudding! I wanted to make the most of this weekend of total disconnection between two Saint-Omer towns. So when the principle of the Omerveilleux Pass was explained to me at the Tourist Office, I didn’t wait long. For two people and 48 hours, it cost me 80 euros. And you’ll see just how easy it is and how much it can bring in terms of memories and savings!

Saturday visits

At the Tourist Office, we immediately snapped up a few souvenirs (postcards, mugs etc.) Because we’d been wanting to take a 2CV road trip for a long time, we headed straight to les Belles Échappées à Clairmarais to hire our coach for the weekend. We took the opportunity to buy the neighbour’s beers from the Brasserie de l’Abbaye de Clairmarais shop. After a few giggles and untimely stalls, here we are at Les Faiseurs de bateaux. For a long time, we had wanted to meet these craftsmen, the only ones to make the escutes and ferries of the marsh. All this made us hungry, so we set off again in the direction of Saint-Omer. At the restaurant L’Industrie, the PASS enabled us to enjoy a complimentary aperitif. Finally for the afternoon, we were in the mood for a big cultural bath. First the musée Sandelin to enjoy the new routes, a little sweet break at the thé Le Passage Merveilleux.

Sunday visits

After spending the night at the foot of the cathedral, we headed back to the Golf de l’Aa. It was an ideal weekend to try out a green and (finally) take the time to have an introductory session. To round off our visits to the practice range, the in-house aperitif offered at Ristandèl followed by a good mealétait just perfect. To make the most of the few hours we had left in Saint-Omer, we took the Tourist Office’s guided tour, 1.5 hours through all the treasures of the historic centre (Notre-Dame cathedral, the Motte Castrale prison, the Chapelle des Jésuites… ). One last adventure? We’ve fallen for the Escape Game! The Enigmes de Vissery gave us a hard time, but shhh. It’s up to you to find out.

The weekend in review

Walks in the marshes, guided heritage tours, museums, electric bike hire, rando-rail, mobilboard, offers in restaurants: around thirty partners are offering benefits. It would be a real shame to miss out!
