Exactly. There was some in the local shop though.

Do you mean local to St. Omer? I've bought it elsewhere in France (can't remember where). It's excellent beer and I'd like to be sure where I can get it.

Thanks, I'll remember that.

Probably cheaper here though

Saint Omer 24 x 25cl Bottles

Refreshing crisp taste. Balanced flavour of malt & hops. Brasserie St Omer is run by Monsieur André Pecquer - in the wine industry and then beer industry all of his life, at 75 he is still hugely excited by making beer. Clear golden colour with a white foam - malty and sweet with a light bitter...

OK. I've bought 1 litre plastic bottles (a nice size) before now, but can't remember where, probably a hypermarché somewhere, but not St. Omer Auchan Longuenesse

Talking of Le Touquet, I see they are going to rename their airport.

Yeah, I saw that, was unexpected. Maybe linked with the large commonwealth war grave nearby, probably get a fair few Brits flying in, maybe?

Can us plebs fly to Le Touquet, or is it private and chartered flights only from UK?

Probably a nice way to travel for a large family

Fastest way to France, day trip or night stop
