Fécamp

The coastal town of Fécamp stretches along the English Channel with white limestone cliffs rising above its harbor and fishing port at the Valmont River mouth.

The Abbey of Fécamp, established in the 7th century, emerged as a principal religious center in medieval Normandy and influenced regional development through the following centuries.

The Benedictine Palace maintains the tradition of producing its namesake herbal liqueur, continuing a legacy that began with the monks of the local abbey.

Visitors can reach Fécamp by train from Paris Saint-Lazare station, with the journey taking approximately two and a half hours through the Norman countryside.

The Musée des Pêcheries, housed in a former fish-drying facility, presents exhibitions about maritime history across seven floors with a panoramic view from its terrace.
