Car Hire Saint Quentin (Aisne) - Mini guide to Saint Quentin (Aisne)

Nearly 60,000 people call Saint-Quentin their home in the north of France. One of the cities of the department Aisne, it is located within the Picardie region and was named after the martyred Saint Quentin of the 3rd century. Despite the fact that it is the largest city of the region, it is not the capital, which is Laon. The city was originally founded by the Romans during the reign of Augustus and still provides the visitor with a wealth of cultural and historical background.

Steeped in theatrical tradition, the city’s cultural season starts in October and ends in May. For seven months, visitors have had the opportunity to enjoy indoor and outdoor theater, classical and rock music concerts, opera and even stand-up comedy. This year (2008), the city is also witness to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Marais-d'Isle Nature Reserve, located in the heart of town. The Maison de la Nature (Nature House) is located right at the entrance to the park and serves as an information post for the entire facility. There is a lake for nautical activities and the area is frequented by a unique variety of birds on their migratory route from north to south.

The month of May sees the opening of the large flower market that the city is famous for and, if you are a lover of the arts, the Jean Vilar Theater hosts a variety of events, such as ballets, concerts and numerous classical and contemporary plays. Part of the region’s economy is supported by the agricultural foods industry which is located in Saint-Quentin. The canning and milling industries, as well as sugar production, are the primary and secondary (respectively) commercial entities in the area.
