Dieppe

Dieppe straddles the mouth of the River Arques on Normandy’s Alabaster Coast, a position that made it both a fishing port and a long-standing link across the English Channel. White chalk cliffs rise on either side of the town, while the harbour opens toward the busy waters between France and England. Above the centre, the Château-Musée de Dieppe occupies a castle overlooking the sea and preserves collections that include local ivory carving, a craft associated with the port’s maritime connections. Dieppe is also remembered for the 1942 Allied raid, a defining wartime episode for the town. Browse nearby webcams to place Dieppe within the Normandy coast.
