A sea air that suits you

In Dieppe, it all starts on the waterfront.

The pebble beach, bordered by a lively promenade, stretches out beneath you. Here, the wind plays with kites, while fishermen unpack their catch of the day on the quayside.

Take a gourmet break to sample Dieppe’s famous marmite or freshly caught scallops – Dieppe is France’s leading port for this exceptional shellfish, after all!

Culture at the top of the cliffs

Head for the Château-Musée de Dieppe, perched on its cliff, for a rare panorama of the town and the English Channel. Inside, you’ll find treasures such as carved ivories, Impressionist paintings and objects from another era.

A stone’s throw away, the Musée Estran Cité de la Mer takes you into the world of sailors and Normandy’s cliffs. Perfect for young and old alike.

International Kite Festival

Lively streets and gourmet moments

Dieppe is vibrant all year round.

On Saturday mornings, the Dieppe Market, voted the most beautiful market in France, livens up the narrow streets of the town center with its colorful stalls.

After your shopping, head for Place du Puits Salé, where the Café des Tribunaux, a veritable local institution, invites you for a convivial break.

In autumn, don’t miss the Fête du Hareng et de la Coquille Saint-Jacques, with its scent of barbecues and the comforting sound of passing conversations.

Dieppe, a nature town in XXL size

If you love the great outdoors, put on your sneakers and follow the paths that wind along the cliffs to Pourville-sur-Mer. The experience is breathtaking, especially at low tide.

A stone’s throw away, the Jardin d’Agapanthe or the Bois des Moutiers offer green calm to recharge your batteries. Beautiful!

Dieppe, a unique link with history

Dieppe is not just about the sea, it’s also about a rich past.

In August 1942,Operation Jubilee, a dramatic Allied landing, left its mark on the town.

Today, the August 19, 1942 Memorial perpetuates this moving memory and strengthens ties with Canada.

A must-see.
