The project W.A.T.E.R. (We Are Teenagers Entrusted With Resources) was initiated by Mrs. Marculescu from Romania. Several schools participated in the project: high schools from Greece, Romania, and Turkey. The objectives were to work with other students from abroad, to better understand our natural environment, and to share our knowledge with our partners. One of the objectives was also to raise awareness about the importance of water as a natural resource and its uses in daily life. Throughout the year, we conducted research about water and its daily uses. We conducted a survey in our school along with our partners and participated in a workshop titled "Water Around the World," which led us to create an exhibition and games for younger students in our school. We then analyzed the quality of water in our region as well as in England. Finally, we learned a lot about the natural environment in Saint-Omer and in the Platier d’Oye, which is a national natural reserve located near the seaside. This project also provided the opportunity to learn more about our partners during the video calls we had with each of them.

A little bit of history....400 families came to cultivate the land of Saint-Omer between 1850 and 1870.

In the past, the plots were only accessible by boat.

At the end of the 1970s, roads and bridges were built . More than 500 hectares became accessible by land.

The boats became useless and thus, the boat makers began to close.

Nowadays, some market gardeners work in monoculture and cultivate cauliflowers in summer and endives in winter, others perpetuate diversified agriculture, sometimes organically.

The legend of Marie Groët

A long time ago, when it was the time of kings, queens, and horses, lived the king and queen of Clairmarais, in a castle surrounded by water in the Audomarois marsh. They had a daughter who was capricious and with an angry temper. Her parents were desperate to find a husband for her because she would disapprove all her suitors and openly laugh at them. What she preferred was plucking flowers from the marshes. So she took her maid and a groët, a very useful tool to pick flowers without getting wet. One day, a wonderful yellow iris resisted so much that the impatient princess snatched the groët from the maid's hands and tried to pick the flower by herself. She accidentally fell into the water and peat of the marshes. Marie,seeing her young mistress with golden hair covered with duckweed, started to laugh. The princess,entangled in the water and mud, started to sink and cried out " Marie ! The Groët ! Give me the Groët !" The maid writhing with laughter, at the more the princess struggled,saw nothing more than a broth on the surface of water. She realized the importance of the tragedy and ran for help. The princess was never found. However, some careless children say they saw a creature, half-woman, half-toad, emerging from the waters, trying to catch them, and crying: “Marie le groët!” »

So, children, beware! Don't get too close to the water !

What can you do in the marshes?

There are plenty of things to do in the Audomarois marshes. Saint Omer has been labelled 'Pays d'Art et d'Histoire'. Overtourism should however be limited because we must protect the environment.

the Antiquity

The Antiquity

During the Antiquity the Audomarois was flooded by l’Aa(a river) so it allowed the activity of fishing.

During the nineteeth century

In the nineteenth century,the Marshes became a thriving market region.

In 2007

There were about sixty families managing 500 hectare especially for the market gardening.

Middle Ages

Under Dagobert 1st, in the 7th century, three monks from Luxeuil (Mommelin, Bertin and Ebertram), came to settle in the territory of Morinie in order to convert the pagan people of Morins to Christianity. The three monks were then headed by Audomar, the bishop of Thérouanne (powerful bishopric at the time). The first monastery was established at the level of the current village of Saint-Momelin. However, this location proved to be very vulnerable to flooding and attacks. Legend has it that the three monks boarded a boat and let themselves drift in order to find a new place with more amenities. This is how God guided them to the shore of Sithiu. Another legend has it that these lands belonged to a pirate named Aldroad, who, once converted by Bishop Audomar, left him all of his lands including, among others, the territories of the current communes of Saint-Omer, Clairmarais and d'Arques..
