Varengeville-Sur-Mer Churchyard, Historic church cemetery on coastal cliffs in Varengeville-sur-Mer, France

The cemetery stands on an eighty-meter-high cliff facing the English Channel, containing numerous gravestones surrounded by green meadows against white chalk cliffs.

The cemetery grounds hold the remains of several notable individuals, including Georges Braque, Albert Roussel, and Paul Nelson, who shaped French art and culture.

A sixteenth-century sandstone cross marks the entrance, while the adjacent Church of Saint Valery features stained glass windows created by Georges Braque.

Located five miles west of Dieppe, the cemetery can be reached via Route de l'Église, with restricted access for new burials due to coastal erosion.

The continuous erosion of the coastline causes the cemetery to lose approximately one meter of ground each year, affecting its physical boundaries.
