Saint-Omer (F) - Foire Aux Manèges

The Foire Aux Manèges in Saint-Omer unfolds its lively hustle and bustle on the spacious Place de l'Esplanade, right next to the historic city walls and the green city park. This location offers the necessary space for the large rides and provides a special backdrop where modern entertainment meets the city's historic fortress architecture. While the Public park exudes tranquillity, the funfair transforms the adjacent esplanade into an energetic centre of light and music.

The experience on the esplanade is characterised by an impressive expanse that offers space for spectacular attractions and wide rows of stalls. Visitors particularly appreciate the unobstructed view over the ramparts from the taller rides. Culinary-wise, the fair remains true to its northern French roots and entices visitors with the aroma of croustillons and regional specialities offered at the numerous stalls along the esplanade. Thanks to its location on the outskirts of the city, the historic centre of Saint-Omer remains a peaceful place for strolls, while just a few minutes' walk away, the Luna Park serves as a vibrant meeting place for the entire region.
