Very discreet, the town of Fécamp 7 km away is teeming with hidden treasures.
In the time of William the Conqueror, it was the capital of Normandy, before Caen took over. The ruins of the Ducal Palace and the Abbey, as long as Notre Dame de Paris, testify to this sumptuous past.
Then, the city became the largest port of Newfoundland in France, with more than 80 boats leaving each year for 9 months at sea on the cod banks near Canada. Many families have lost a parent in this adventure.
The magnificent Fisheries Museum retraces this life. The museum welcomes you with a 360° belvedere, and lets you know the beautiful story of the drop of milk, which spread from Fécamp all over the world. A beautiful collection of impressionist works and an exhibition of a Cauchois interior complete the visit.
The Palais Bénédictine awaits you to show you around its collections and open its cellars of the famous liqueur to you.
Cap Fagnet, where the cliff culminates at 112 m, is connected to the port by the sailors' path, take note for athletes!
You never get bored in Fécamp. The icing on the cake, parking is free everywhere!
