Varengeville-sur-Mer

This Norman commune extends over 10.75 square kilometers along the English Channel coast, featuring carved chalk cliffs that provide panoramic sea views and pebble beaches accessible through pathways cut into the rocky coastline.

The village developed around the 13th-century Saint-Valéry church perched on clifftops and houses the Manoir d'Ango built between 1530 and 1545 by Jean Ango, a significant figure in maritime trade and Renaissance exploration.

The cemetery adjacent to the church contains graves of distinguished French artistic personalities including Georges Braque, Albert Roussel, and Georges de Porto-Riche, while Braque's cubist stained glass windows adorn local religious sites.

Access to the village is provided by departmental roads D27, D75, and D123 connecting to Dieppe, with municipal services located at 47 route de Dieppe and regular weekday opening hours for residents.

The Bois des Moutiers estate, designed by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1898, combines Arts and Crafts architecture with gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll, creating a remarkable architectural and landscape ensemble.
