Culture

The Tour de Guet de Saint-Blimont is a 15th-century watchtower standing 27 metres high. The crypt of the Tour de Guet et Crypte de Saint-Blimont contains the graves of Louise-Agnès de Saint-Blimond and Louise-Amélie, Princess of Berghes. The crypt was discovered in April 1996 during simple work on the church foundations.

The Tour de Guet et Crypte de Saint-Blimont houses the bells of the village church, which have been ringing there since 1680. After climbing 108 steps, the tower offers panoramic views of the Picardy coast and the Vimeu. The site can be visited free of charge all year round.

Renting a holiday apartment in Saint-Blimont is a travel plan in its own right.

Cycling
