Houlle (French pronunciation: [ul]; West Flemish: Holne) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France. [3]
A village situated 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Saint-Omer, on the D207 road. "Houlle" is also the name of a small river close to the village, tributary of the Aa, included in the water management plan ( fr:SAGE) of the Audomarois region.
Spirits from grain, flavoured with berries of the juniper tree, are distilled in Houlle, the Genièvre (juniper) of Houlle; this spirit is very close to the Dutch jenever and more distantly related to dry gin. This is drunk with the local speciality, ( potjevleesch) and is used to refine Maroilles cheese.
