Geography
Wavrans-sur-l'Aa is located 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) southwest of Saint-Omer, at the D192 and D225 road junction, on the banks of the river Aa. It is home to a site of great ecological interest, which justified the creation of a voluntary nature reserve, which become the Grottes et Pelouses d'Acquin-Westbecourt et Coteaux de Wavrans-sur-l'Aa National Nature Reserve in 2008[3]
