Balastières Pond

Highlight • Other

The Federal Ballastières ponds are located on the Lys basin, in the territory of the commune of Aire sur la Lys. These old ballast pits, resulting from the extraction of ballast, are today at the heart of a vast natural area of approximately 109 hectares. The federal fishing zone is divided into two bodies of water. These ponds, of varying depth, are home to cyprinid fish species such as roach, bream, carp, and predators such as pike and perch.

Saint-Omer station

Highlight • Monument

Located in Saint-Omer, France, the Gare de Saint-Omer has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. The first version of the station opened on September 1, 1848, as part of the railway line from Lille to Calais. The original building was modest and located outside the city walls, between the Porte de Lyzel and the Porte du Haut-Pont.
In 1904, a new, monumental station building was inaugurated, designed by the architect Clément Ligny. This building, with its neoclassical architecture, was built with high-quality materials such as blue stone from Soignies and white stone from Creil. The design reflects the grandeur of a 17th-century castle, complete with symmetrical pavilions and decorative elements such as triglyphs and pediments.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A pleasant cycling route through the Parc Naturel des Ballastieres.
This former ballast extraction site is now a natural area with a pleasant walking trail a stone's throw from the city. On and around the bodies of water, nature is reclaiming its rights and many species have taken up residence there under the gaze of the Highland cows that maintain the place.
