Clos Du Bailli

Heritage, History, Family! Clos du Bailli is a place rooted in the heritage of the town of St Omer, a house belonging to the canons of the cathedral, already featured in one of Louis XIV's famous relief plans, a heritage that inspired 5 years of work, launched in 2018, and which aims to pass on a sense of beauty, history and families. Le Clos du Bailli is a story set at the crossroads of two emblematic squares in the town of St Omer: Place Sithieu and the Cathedral Enclosure. The first, Sithieu, refers to the former name of St Omer, before the monks transformed a marshland into a port, culture and trade town with a population of 35,000 in the Middle Ages, with the motte castrale at its heart. The statue of Pierre Alexandre de Monsigny, a student at the Jesuit College, composer and precursor of comic opera (1729-1817).
