Tips from the Community
I only rode the part between Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamps, as before this there is a 20km ride on shared roads, and I don't like these so much on my longboard. The part I rode is superb, be it for the landscape, the vilages, the tarmac and the rest areas with tables, benches, apple trees. I loved it and will be back.

The tower of a Christian church is usually crowned with a cross – symbolizing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – or a rooster – symbolizing the denial of Jesus by the Apostle Peter. In this chapel, dedicated to "Notre-Damé" ("Our Lady"), the viewer instead finds a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary at the top. From this prominent position, it overlooks land and sea. The builders surely understood this primarily as a sign of blessing the earth and water – and especially the people who sail the sea.

It looks quite nice from the outside, but unfortunately the entrance is closed for security reasons.

A small detour from the cycle path that is worth it. The cafe is opposite the town hall. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, tasty little dishes with a twist.
