Thérouanne is stop 77 of Sigeric on his return journey from Canterbury to Rome. The town is also located on the historic road between Boulogne and Arras (Chaussée Brunehaut). In the 16th century, this fortified town was a French enclave within the German Empire, but was razed to the ground by Charles V in 1553. On the hill to the north of the town lie the remains of one of the first cathedrals built in the Gothic style in France. The famous Grand dieu de Thérouanne, which once adorned one of the portals, is now in the cathedral of St-Omer.
