The village of Watten



Google
 




Watten is just a few miles from the town of St Omer in the Pas de Calais.

The village is on both sides of the river a group of house and shops.

A restored windmill sits on top of the hill. Several waterways meet at Watten it reminds me of Holland with the canals.

From the top of the hill you can see the coast and the Flanders plain.

There is a long quay where the barges tie up. You can see some of it in the photo and in the other photo the lock.The waterways link Calais, Dunkerque and Belgium with the French canal system.
