The city concentrates a significant number of economic activities and services: commerce, crafts, etc. The Saint-Paul parish church with its unusual architecture does not go unnoticed. At the beginning of the 20th century, Saint-Pol and the Ternois remained outside the industrial revolution. Only the textile industry and a few agri-food industries are present.
