See & Do
There's so much to see and do, it's hard to know where to begin. Have fun planning your holiday in Normandy.
Links to all the tourist websites - from Normandy, Haute Normandie, Seine Maritime, Dieppe, Rouen and all the wonderful places nearby with tourist offices - can be found on the Tourism Links page. This is a voyage of discovery in itself.
If you are visiting with children or elderly parents, you may like to look at Young & Younger for inspiration. And don't despair if the weather's not so good, simply have a look at the Wet & Dry page - there's plenty of indoor activity in the region.
Below are some headings to tempt you
further:
Walking
and Cycling:
The
Véloroute du Littoral de la Côte
d'Albâtre runs all the way from Le Havre
to Le Tréport, and is for more expert cyclists. Also, have a
look at these
walks and rides near the coast.
You can walk or cycle out from either house straight onto cycle
routes. Wherever you go you will find places to stop for a
walk; there is also a lot of information on the sites on the
Tourism Links
page.
This site is
good if you would like to be more informed about
footpath signage when hiking,
and
here are
11
graded walks and 2 drives.
Other Activities:
Sea
fishing
or
boat trips
along the coast
Swimming
(note - swimming shorts are not allowed)
Kite Festival
(every two years in September)
Mini-golf at Dieppe and many
other places nearby
Museums: We love this website about
museums in
Upper Normandy, which includes the
Clock Museum at St Nicolas
d'Aliermont.
Châteaux in Seine Maritime:
Ruined castle at Arques la Bataille
Château Gaillard at Les
Andelys,
the stronghold of Richard the Lionheart
