Saint-Jans-Cappel

Saint-Jans-Cappel combines a quiet rural atmosphere with a distinctly cross-border Flemish identity in a way that reflects its position on the slopes of Mont Noir in French Flanders. This commune lies close to Belgium, within the low, wooded hills that rise above the surrounding agricultural plain of the Westhoek. Mont Noir is closely associated with the writer Marguerite Yourcenar, whose family had roots here. The Villa Marguerite Yourcenar, a residence for writers, continues that literary connection in the commune.
