An active seaside resort

Home to one of Normandy’s busiest ports, life in Dieppe is dominated by the sea. Dieppe fish has always been highly appreciated and recognized. Today, Dieppe remains one of France’s leading ports for scallops. These shellfish are therefore naturally represented in many of the city’s restaurants. As for gastronomy, the Dieppe market, voted “Most beautiful market in France 2020”, is also a must for all lovers of fresh, local produce, whether from the sea or the land.

Stroll through the Dieppe Market, the largest in Normandy, and you’ll also find an atmosphere, a friendly environment and a strong identity. It’s an unmissable weekly rendezvous for residents, a morning full of encounters, exchanges and kindness.

Visit Dieppe and its port, which offers a wide range of activities including fishing, pleasure boating and many other water sports. Sailing, deep-sea fishing, kayaking, canoeing and paddling are all easily accessible in Dieppe.

Activities you can enjoy on the beach at Dieppe. Stretching over 1,500 metres, this pebble beach is a stone’s throw from the town center and steeped in history.
