Things get a bit more touristy here – but still pleasant. The water is crystal clear.

The marina of Fécamp is a quiet place where sailboats and motorboats moor side by side. The atmosphere is relaxed and as you walk along the water you can see the many white masts reflected in the water. The fish market is particularly worth seeing, offering freshly caught fish and a wide range of seafood. Here you can buy oysters, shrimps and even lobsters. A visit is particularly worthwhile for lovers of fresh seafood. The harbor itself is functional, but with a little luck you might see a historic sailing ship anchored, which adds to the maritime atmosphere.

The Feu de la jetée Sud near Fécamp is a special destination for lighthouse fans and offers impressive views over the coast and the harbor. The combination of the striking red and white tower and the adjacent wooden jetty construction gives the scenery a unique character. While walking along the pier, you can watch the waves crashing against the wooden structure while the wind blows around the lighthouse. On a clear day, the horizon stretches far out to sea and the contrast between the turquoise water and the cliffs makes the place a picturesque viewpoint.

The Durdent offers a picturesque setting for cycle tourists. This serene waterway winds through green valleys dotted with charming Norman villages, including the particularly peaceful Vittefleur.

This beautiful building is almost like a castle on the Loir in its splendor. It is a distillery that produces liquor and the interior is also very beautiful and can be visited. The Calvados is very good!!!
