Normandy's seafood-packed city that's easily reached by ferry
Emerging behind a long, hut-studded pebble beach on Normandy's Alabaster Coast, the seaside resort of Dieppe is one easy-to-explore parcel of history, architecture, cross-Channel cultural ties and seriously good seafood, a four-hour ferry ride from the south coast. Dieppe's coastal location unquestionably shaped its evolution from a small 11th-century settlement to a medieval centre of trade, cartography and crafts. By the 16th century, Dieppe was one of France's most important fishing ports and had long waved renowned navigators off to the New World. Rebuilt following the Anglo-Dutch bombardment of 1694, Dieppe was the site of the country's first sea-bathing resort in 1824 and was later the scene of the Allies' disastrous 1942 Dieppe Raid. • Read our full guide to Normandy Today the city is recognised as a 'Ville d'Art et d'Histoire' and hosts an award-winning, town-encompassing market every Saturday. Plus, it's home to the International Kite Festival every two years (it takes place this September) and the lively Herring and Scallop Fair in November — a nod to the industry on which Dieppe was founded. • Morning: Dieppe castle — Château de Dieppe• Lunch: L'Ô2 Mer• Afternoon: 19 August 1942 Memorial museum• Drink at: Café des Tribunaux• Evening: Passage Obligé• Dinner: La Cale • Morning: Tour Le Pollet• Lunch: Bistrot Chez Polette• Afternoon: Navigation Normande boat trip• Drink at: Moment Café• Evening: Two churches • Dinner: Comptoir d'Huîtres • An eclectic collection of artwork adorns the walls of Dieppe castle — Château de Dieppe — a fortification that dates from the 15th century. Dieppe's story is told through paintings, sculptures and objects, including the country's largest collection of carved ivory. Idle in the map room and on the ramparts (£6; Rue de Chastes). • Step inside the ornate 19th-century Italian-style theatre — now the 19 August 1942 Memorial Museum — to learn about the Dieppe Raid, aka Operation Jubilee, which saw the greatest single loss of Canadian life in one day in the Second World War. The theatre, where a few Allied troops took refuge, hosts a detailed exhibition including a moving film (£5; 1 Place Camille Saint-Saëns).• Disappear into this shop that's a treasure chest of trinkets, jewellery, clothing and homewares tucked in a cobbled courtyard off Dieppe's pedestrianised shopping street, Grande Rue. Browse fish-eye mirrors, colourful kaftans, bold necklaces and ceramics under the side eye of the resident miniature dachshund (178 Grande Rue).• Venture across the bridge to Le Pollet, a neighbourhood with its own traditions. Pass street art in the alleyways, see Dieppe's oldest timber houses, visit the hilltop chapel dedicated to sailors lost at sea and eat at the unassuming restaurant Les Voiles d'Or with its one Michelin star (2 Chemin de la Falaise). Call for a harbour-view café au lait (from £3).• Take to the top deck for some sea air on a leisurely 75-minute round cruise out of Dieppe harbour westwards towards Varengeville-sur-Mer. The captain's commentary, which covers history and geology, is in French with the occasional gag that needs no translation (from £12, Pop into St Rémy, which took more than a century to build from 1522. Don't miss the striking 17th-century split Renaissance columns on the façade. Then, a few streets away, find the gothic St Jacques church. Some of its earliest parts date from the 12th century (free). Lunch beneath low-hanging lanterns and filament bulbs in this contemporary beachfront restaurant alongside the old casino. Delve into staples such as oysters, moules-frites (with Roquefort cheese sauce) and beef tartare. Ask for a window seat to the sea or head for the sheltered terrace (mains from £13; 101 Boulevard de Verdun). • 24 of the best places to visit in France for your next getaway Last of the traditional giant bistros, this imposing brasserie is an institution in Dieppe, not to mention a terrific suntrap for an evening tipple. The interior drips with vintage glamour. From 6pm to 8pm is Wine O'Clock. Ask for a pleasing £4 house wine (1 Place du Puits Salé). Drinks from £4; Settle in for a French feast at this cosy corner bistro where the chalkboard changes with the produce available. Start with the signature egg on watercress and follow with market-bought fish and sauce of your choice. Wash the lot down with a bottle of crisp, sparkling Normandy cider (mains from £11; 34 Rue Jean Antoine Belle Testé). A nautical theme runs through this popular dining spot where wood-panelled walls are bedecked in fishing nets, shells and rope-strung lights. A simple menu featuring oysters and what is said to be the best fish and chips in Normandy tantalises, although whelks with mayo are a juicy speciality (mains from £12; 18 Quai du Carénage). • 12 of the best villas in France with pools One for coffee aficionados, find quality caffeine in laid-back surroundings opposite the church of St Rémy.
