Dieppe Audio guided walking tour 2h and 22 audio commentary

It’s crazy how as we approach a port, our walking speed slows down and our strolling takes over.

Since Le Tréport in Le Havre, the Alabaster Coast has been attached to bathing practices very early.

Emblematic in the discovery of Dieppe, Quai Henri IV is this type of place that brightens the promenade just by its string of colorful facades overlooking the marina.

In Dieppe, few locals do not know this address located at the very end of Quai Henri IV. Either because they have already eaten a bite at the bistro there, or because they have already heard about the history of the place.

Before you even tell yourself what to see and where to look, have you ever heard of gobs?

The sea baths, the beach, the port, Dieppe is one of the emblematic seaside cities of the Alabaster Coast. And by logic, a must-see destination for all our lovers of the marine world.

In France, when it comes to resorts, we have a sort of automatic referral to the club of destinations of the French Riviera and the Atlantic coast that operates.

Cultural, green, seaside, religious, in Normandy, there is not one type of tourism beneficial to visitors, but many. And this list remains incomplete without mentioning the must-see tourism in memory so dear to the region.

Between the Point of Sale days and the ubiquitous presence of cars in the parking lot of the National Square, spotting the statue of Abraham Duquesne can seem like a whole ordeal.

Entirely pedestrian, the Grande Rue is undoubtedly the main shopping artery of Dieppe. Already present in the Gallic era, it made it easier to pass from one cliff to another.

Sweeping quickly along Verdun Boulevard, it’s obvious, the building that faces you with something more that its neighbors don’t have. And this very particular thing is a strong historical value.

Turn your head slightly to your right towards the cliff, and there, almost magically, appears the unmissable Castle-Museum of Dieppe. Château-Museum, this is a strange association.

To get to know the church of Saint-Rémy is to discover the religious heritage of Dieppe.

At the crossroads of not two, but six streets, if you count correctly, the Place du Puits-Salé is probably the busiest and best known in Dieppe.

Built between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, on the ancient remains of a chapel, the Church of Saint James owes its existence to the Archbishop of Rouen.

As a seaport, Dieppe is equipped with two distinct bridges that allow residents to easily move from one basin to another.

Well, those are boats in levitation and not laid on the waves. Definitely, the visit of Dieppe did not finish to surprise you.

Behind this metal framework, a little consumed by time and by the salt floating in the atmosphere, hides a Dippois emblem with a more than endearing history.

In Dieppe, there is a slogan that loudly proclaims “Dieppois fish, fish of choice”. A little chauvinistic, will you tell us? In itself, no more than any other belief defended by a Frenchman proud of his region or city of origin.

To find the ancient and traditional heart of Dieppe, there is nothing more telling than strolling gently through the streets of the Pollet district.

Don’t get me wrong, if we wanted to make you mark the stop there, it’s for a good reason. As you can read on one of the panels hanging on the small wall on the left, not far from you, is the Chapel of Our Lady of Bonsecours.

Having reached the water’s edge and normally turning your back on traffic, you are enjoying one of the most beautiful images of your time in Dieppe.
