Staple is a commune in the North, in the region of Hauts-de-France, about ten kilometers northwest of Hazebrouck.

The territory of the locality, vast of 10 km ², neighbor the limit "east" of the department of Pas-de-Calais, and belongs to the natural and historical region of Flanders.

Seat of a powerful seigniory under the Old Regime that will even be established as a Viscount, Staple has retained a predominantly rural landscape known for its hops cultivation. However, industrial units were once established in the town, where the remains of a forge are still visible.

Its proximity to the pretty village of Cassel, its green environment and its heritage make Staple, affected by the fighting of the First World War, a pleasant stage before reaching the coast (Dunkirk is less than 40 km).

Things to see and do

If the Saint-Omer church is now closed to the public and worship for security reasons (loose soil under the aisles, fractured vault), which no longer allows to amine his altarpiece, its windows that illuminate its imposing stature, which detonates for a village of less than 1000 inhabitants, are nonetheless visible partly from the outside. Note the defensive elements of the red brick building, including the bell tower of medieval appearance.

In terms of heritage, however, note that a dozen chapels and oratories punctuate the village and especially its surroundings, which allowed the peasants, workers and travelers to collect.

In the village itself, we observe in the cemetery the tomb of General Gobrecht (1772-1845), born in Cassel, who was a great general of the wars of the Revolution and the First Empire.

We will especially benefit from a stage at Staple to take the many hiking trails (also accessible mostly by mountain bike) that crisscross part of the countryside, the cultivated areas such as hop or join the valley of Cassel. Maps and documentation at +33 3 28 40 52 55.

Note also that the Tourist Office offers tours of the main sites of "Inland Flanders", from Cassel to Bailleul through Hazebrouck and... Staple. Information on +33 3 28 40 52 55.
