Seine-Maritime, in the north of Normandy, combines nature, history and culture. Staying at Castel Camping Le Brévedent is an ideal base from which to explore its coastal landscapes, historic towns and picturesque villages. Discover the highlights of this multi-faceted region.
The cliffs of Étretat
The majesty of the Étretat cliffs, the symbol of the Seine-Maritime region, is fascinating. Sculpted by erosion, they offer spectacular panoramas, perfect for hiking. The site has inspired artists such as Monet and Maupassant, who were captivated by its beauty. Étretat is a must for nature and art lovers.
Rouen, city of a hundred steeples
Rouen, the historic capital of Normandy, has a rich heritage. Its Notre-Dame cathedral, immortalised by Monet, and the Gros-Horloge are major monuments. It was also in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried, making her mark on French history. The city combines medieval charm with a lively atmosphere.
Le Havre and its modern architecture
Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the embodiment of modernity. Rebuilt after the Second World War by Auguste Perret, the city impresses with its avant-garde architecture. With its modern buildings, museums and lively waterfront, Le Havre offers a unique cultural experience.
Coastal villages
Veules-les-Roses, one of the most beautiful villages in France, charms with its river, half-timbered houses and flower-filled gardens. Saint-Valery-en-Caux and Fécamp, also not to be missed, combine seascapes and heritage. These authentic villages invite you to immerse yourself in Normandy.
Local flavours and traditions
Seine-Maritime delights with its seafood, particularly oysters and mussels, but also with its cheeses and cider. The local markets feature fresh, tasty produce. Every tasting session is an opportunity to savour the region’s culinary traditions, offering a true feast for the senses and a chance to connect with its rich gastronomic heritage.
