A charming village in the Pays de Caux, Criquetot-l'Esneval seems the perfect place for a holiday to discover the splendours of the Côte d'Albâtre, only 25 minutes from Fécamp and Le Havre, 9 kilometres from Étretat and 10 minutes from the sea.

Cricket-l'Esneval will surprise you in many ways: if at first sight, this small town seems to look like many Norman villages, note that it contains some beautiful buildings to see absolutely. Inhabited since prehistoric times, Criquetot-l'Esneval was an important trading route in the Gallo-Roman era, promoting trade and development in the municipality. Thus, during your walks, you will be able to see some magnificent residences, dovecotes and manors (such as the Manoir d'Esneval) located here and there in the city, as well as a splendid Romanesque church built during the 11th century. Its feudal mound, its town hall, its old castle and the former imperial gendarmerie are also worth a visit.

But what makes Criquetot-l'Esneval so interesting is its ideal location to discover the most beautiful corners of the Normandy coast. First stop: Le Havre! Its famous commercial port is one of the biggest attractions in the region. The François 1st lock, the Porte Océane (classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Volcan du Havre, but also the Saint-Joseph church, the educational paths retracing the paths of impressionists such as Monet or Boudin, the colourful bathing cabins and the Parc de Rouelles are some of the sites that must be seen when passing through Le Havre.

Second stop, further north this time: Fécamp! Its cliffs are obviously very popular with visitors: made of white chalk, they glisten at sunrise, when the sun lights up the white of these high sharp promontories overlooking the sea. Take a break on its pebble beaches, taste its famous Benedictine liquor, stroll along its wooden booms, visit the Ducal Palace, the shopping streets, admire the Art Deco style residences and the magnificent Benedictine Palace.

Finally, after visiting Fécamp, make a last stop in Étretat: known as one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in the whole of the Côte d'Albâtre, Étretat is a must see during your stay in Criquetot-l'Esneval. Located only ten minutes from the town, it is the ideal place to hike, enjoy good local dishes, but also to swim. Facing its promenade by the sea, you will find many shops, bars and restaurants, perfect for tasting the delights of Norman cuisine: sautéed Yvetot chicken with apples, hot oysters with Camembert, Cauchoise escalope, mussel soup, Norman sole, fried scallops, Normandy pancakes... Enough to satisfy young and old. Once satisfied, what to see in Étretat? The Downstream Cliff, its Ark and its legendary Needle (known thanks to Arsène Lupin), the Upstream Cliff and its Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde chapel, the wooden halls, the clos Lupin, the shopping streets... Also take the time to swim there, or to enjoy a reading break on its beautiful pebble beach !
