A very well-known place for pilgrims and a good tavern which recently reopened: LA TABLE DE ST BENOIT.

This picturesque village owes much of its fame to the birth of Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, born in the village in 1748. It is also an essential stop on the religious route of the Via Francigena.

The patron saint of the marginalized, Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, was born in 1748 in the picturesque village of Amettes. He is better known as "God's Traveler." A French mendicant pilgrim, he traveled the roads of Europe, from sanctuary to sanctuary until his final stop: Rome. He was canonized in 1881. The birthplace of Saint Benedict Joseph, a small chalet, has become an important pilgrimage site in Artois, dedicated to his memory and housing his belongings.

Thérouanne was Sigeric's 77th stop on his return from Canturbey's pilgrimage to Rome. In the 19th century, this fortified town was a French enclave within the German Empire, but was razed by Charles V in 1553. On the hill north of the town are the remains of one of the first cathedrals built in the Gothic style in France. The famous Great God of Thérouanne, which adorned one of the portals, is now housed in Saint-Omer Cathedral.

At the entrance to Thérouanne is the site where a magnificent cathedral stood in the Middle Ages... Today, there is practically nothing left on the surface, but a walk in this park after visiting the Maison de l'archéologie allows you to better immerse yourself in the history of Thérouanne and imagine the splendor of the city in medieval times.

The castle has been preserved in its original plans. It was built in the Middle Ages (13th and 15th centuries). It is an example of a fortified castle from the plains of Northern Europe. A walk along the “Moats” and an interior visit to the chapel, the vaulted cellars and the floors of the keep are recommended. Enjoy a distant past in the present.
