Saint-Valery-en-Caux combines the activity of a small Channel harbour with the stark chalk cliffs of Normandy’s Côte d’Albâtre, reflecting its position on the English Channel. The town lies in a narrow coastal valley, where breakwaters shelter the port beneath the pale cliff line that defines this stretch of coast. Maison Henri IV, a 16th-century timber-framed house, is one of its notable historic buildings. Saint-Valery-en-Caux is also associated with the Battle of France: in June 1940, much of the British 51st (Highland) Division was forced to surrender here.
