Houlle is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.

Geography

A village situated 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Saint-Omer, on the D207 road. "The 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.

Economy
