Definitely worth checking out. The walk up the cliffs is invigorating and the view on the Atlantic and the little town of Etretat down below is beautiful.

The stairs leading up on the cliff are taking not more than 10 min to go up, but better to be prepared. On the top, the great seascape is awaiting you. Get your comfy shoes on, take a windbreaker jacket (because it may be windy even in summer), it will be a long walk! The path leads you all along the shore, but be careful going down, the railing may be shaky. It is a perfect place to think and enjoy a small company since in the evening hours there is almost no one around.

Le Musée des Pêcheries de Fécamp a ouvert ses portes en 2017 dans une ancienne sécherie de morues, au cœur du port de Fécamp. Il regroupe des collections liées au passé maritime de la ville, ancienne capitale des Terre-Neuvas, mais aussi des collections historiques et de Beaux-Arts.

A great museum, you've GOT to visit if you're in the region! It gives you a very detailed description of the life the fisher-folk who belonged to the region led. It makes you grateful for everything you have and respect nature for what she truly is!

The Musee des Beaux-Arts at Rouen is one of the best provincial museums in France, so if you are in Rouen on a rainy day like I was (or even if it isn't raining!), I highly recommend setting aside a couple of hours for a visit. The Cathedral Notre-Dame in Rouen was a recurring subject for Monet when he lived in nearby Giverny, and this excellent museum displays one of these canvases, along with works by Gericault, Boudin, Sisley, Renoir, Caillebot, Delecroix and many others. The paintings collection is especially strong, but there are also many fine sculptures and objets d'art. The whole museum has a very modern and professional air. And it's free! Unbelievable for a museum of this quality.

This stunning Gothic structure is considered by some to be the town's most important architectural landmark.

Well worth a visit if you are in the city of Rouen, free entry Beautiful historic cathedral with plenty of information in other languages aside from French. The tomb of Richard the lionheart is inside, and statue of Joan of arc Tour guides can be found around the cathedral who can be very informative
6. Eglise St-Joseph

The Église St Joseph stands proud in the centre of reconstructed Le Havre. The steeple rises like a lighthouse visible from land and sea. I would highly recommend visiting the interior particularly later in the day as the sun descends in the sky and light plays on the stained glass and colors the airy concrete structure.
7. Musee d’art Moderne Andre Malraux - MuMa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 911 reviews
The first thing you notice about the Musée d'art moderne André Malraux-MuMa Le Havre is its breathtaking coastal setting. As you approach the spacious, light-filled museum building, Henri-Georges Adam's monumental concrete sculpture The Signal heightens the experience, framing a slice of the maritime landscape that inspired many of the works in the museum's collections. Le Havre has nurtured artists like Monet, Dubuffet, Friesz, Dufy and Braque. And MuMa is a pillar of the city's art history. Inaugurated in 1961 by André Malraux, then France's Minister of Cultural Affairs, MuMa is known for its late-19th and 20th-century collections. From the Impressionists to the Fauves, the museum's collections have been enriched by gifts such as works from the studio of Eugène Boudin and the Marande donation. More recently, Hélène Senn-Foulds donated an impressive collection built up by her grandfather, Olivier Senn, in the early 20th century. Thanks to the donation, MuMa's collection of Impressionist works is today one of France's largest, and the public can now enjoy works by Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Courbet and Corot.

The palace was really interesting, lots of beautiful things to see. We did the distillery tour and Samantha was brilliant - interesting, funny and very friendly. And you got to taste it at the end! A brilliant way to fill a few hours.

We spent the afternoon in Dieppe on a beautiful, hot summer day. Walking along the beach, it was so hard to imagine the terrible devastation that happened here on Aug 19, 1942. We were especially moved by the memorial along the beach to the Calgary soldiers who were stuck in tanks on the beach that fateful day. It was good to see the memorials to all the different regiments from across Canada who took part in the raid. We then walked to the Canadian memorial and sat in the shade, taking some time to reflect on the sacrifice made on the beautiful beach that day. We will remember. We would also recommend visiting the nearby Canadian war cemetery - it was also very moving and a lovely spot next to farmers' fields.

Reviewed By JGee4 - Somerset, United Kingdom
The botanical gardens of Le Havre, founded only in 2000, are formed within the old 19th century Vauban-style fort high above the city. There are great views of the city and docks and across the Seine estuary from the ramparts. The gardens are set out to demonstrate different plants from across the world, either in open beds or within a series of glasshouses with, for example, wonderful cacti, exotic tropical plants and orchids of all shapes and descriptions. There are experimental flower beds where the City tries out planting schemes for its parks and borders in town. Everything is labelled for the serious botanists, but this place can be enjoyed by everybody just as a park or somewhere for the kids to rush around.
