Head for Dieppe, the patriarch of French seaside resorts. The aristocracy used to visit this town for its baths and it soon overflowed into the neighbouring countryside. You will discover the charms of Varengeville where George Braque died but not before placing his signature on the stained-glass window of the church. Those interested in light-houses should not miss visiting the one on Cap d'Ailly in Sainte-Marguerite. Just before arriving at the gorges of Petit-Ailly, follow the Albâtre coast as it rises abruptly up from the sea, and cross through the little valleys of Pays de Caux. Then you see Le Havre facing Honfleur on the other side of the estuary. Before taking the Normandy bridge, which is as long as the Champs Elysées, you must visit the Sainte-Adresse fort whose local nickname is Napoleon's Hat. On a clear day the site offers the most beautiful view on the Calvados coast.
