Saint-Valery-en-Caux

Saint-Valery-en-Caux extends along white limestone cliffs of the English Channel, featuring a central harbor surrounded by traditional Norman architecture.

The port, established in the 13th century for herring fishing, served as a strategic point during World War II when the Highland 51st Division faced German forces.

The Maison Henri IV, dating from the 16th century, displays carved wooden features on its facade depicting early Norman voyages to Brazil.

The town's nautical club offers sailing excursions, while the beach provides various water activities and equipment rentals throughout the summer season.

Local fishing boats return daily to the port with fresh catches of sole, whelks, and crabs, maintaining centuries-old maritime traditions.
