Local products,
local produce at your fingertips

First stop on your gourmet odyssey: local specialities. When it comes to cheeses, Neufchâtel ‘s legendary heart can be found on every plate. Made from cow’s milk, it carries with it the love of young Normandy girls for English soldiers… and the greed of those who eat it today. Alongside this cheese, seafood shines brightly: grilled herring, elegantly pearly scallops and Veules oysters can be savoured in the open air, between cliffs and colourful caravans. And what about crisp apples, raw cider or Bénédictine liqueur? Every sip and bite is a nod to the soul of Normandy.

Discover new flavours!

Distilleries and breweries, when terroir becomes bold

In Seine-Maritime, artisans don’t just perpetuate traditions: they reinvent them. At the Palais Bénédictine in Fécamp, you’ll discover a veritable treasure trove of flavors in a flamboyant Gothic setting. Further afield, orchards and cider mills offer tasting breaks that combine sweet juices and light bubbles. La Ferme de Bray, with its cider press and bread oven, is an escape back in time, while the craft breweries vie with each other to offer beers that snap in the mouth. Here, every bottle tells a story.

Meeting with Normandy producers

Behind every product are skilled hands and sincere smiles! Follow the Route des Fruits and meet the people who grow apples, pears, plums and cherries along the meandering Seine. At the Vergers de la Gentilhommière, Félix shares his passion for organic cider with Neufchâtel toast and apple pie. And if you feel like it, come and pick your own seasonal fruit and vegetables at Octeville-sur-Mer.

I'm off on an adventure!

Gourmet festivals and walks

Every autumn, Seine-Maritime dresses up to celebrate its treasures. The Fête du Hareng (Herring Festival), with its grilled aromas and sea chanteys, is an institution. In Dieppe, the scallop is honored, while the Fête du Ventre et de la Gastronomie in Rouen brings together small producers and large gourmets in the heart of the city. And for those who prefer the sea air, a stroll along the Côte d’Albâtre between coves and restaurants promises a taste of Normandy in all its splendor. Here, every path, every village, every plate is a feast in its own right.

Eat up! Get moving! Enjoy!
