Reseña del libro "Saint-Omer and the British Connection (en Inglés)"

"My spirits were instantly lifted when I saw the glorious Cathedral and felt much happier" TNH Smith Pearse, Saint Omer 1917 Saint-Omer, an attractive ville fortifié in northern France has a British thread that weaves through each century. It was a caché for Saint Thomas Becket in 1165. It grew powerful as an English staple town in 1314. It had great religious and intellectual clout as home to the English Jesuits, fleeing the Reformation. It fell due to French Revolution. Napoleon based his troops here in his invasion plans of England in 1803. It was a central hub for the British Expeditionary Force during the start of WW1. It is home to the RAF and was the starting point for D.Bader's bid for freedom in 1941. "Written with huge enthusiasm and terrific research, it's an essential read for those interested in local history and travel in France." Tim Donovan, international property consultant and bon viveur
