Sainte-Adresse

Sainte-Adresse sits on the English Channel coast in Normandy, France, where the Cap de la Hève headland rises west of Le Havre. This residential commune occupies a maritime stretch at the mouth of the Seine estuary, with coastal walks leading toward the lighthouse and open water beyond. Its wartime role was unusual: from 1914 to 1918, Sainte-Adresse hosted the Belgian government in exile. The town also appears in the story of Impressionism; Claude Monet painted “The Garden at Sainte-Adresse” here in 1867, recording bourgeois leisure against the Channel horizon.
