Saint Laurent Blangy City
Saint Laurent Blangy is a beautiful city located in the Pas-de-Calais department, near Arras. On the weekends, you will see many people jogging near the canal, canoeing, kayaking, or fishing in one of the numerous lakes connecting to the canal. The canal itself is about 100 km long and reaches Lamur in Belgium.
This willow tree is called in French the “crying willow tree” because of its shape!

Hi there, thanks a lot for sharing these beautiful photos of St Laurent Blangy. I did canoe and rafting there a few years back and it’s a wonderful and relaxing place, very easy to reach from Arras and Lille. Thanks! Tommy from London
