Saxons must have settled in numerous places along the Belgo-Gallic coast.
One such place is the river Slack-estuary in Marquise, north of
Boulogne.  Another one is located in the Picardie-region. Northwest of
Abbeville (Abbegem in Flemish), there's a place called Rue, at the mouth
of the river Somme, where archeological remains of a settlement were found.
Maybe even bigger numbers of Saxons must have settled in Normandy, in
places as far south as Bayeux and Caen. More can be read here:

(look for chapter VI, "De Saksen", in Dutch)

This so called "Otlingua Saxonia" is also discussed in
http://herjolfr.blogspot.com/  (but in French).

More detail can be found under "De quelques autres opinions" in

Kind greetings,
