Rental CHALET Fécamp : 

The sea, the sun, a rich heritage and gourmet cuisine, Fécamp has everything to seduce you for exotic stays. Cultural, natural and sporting, the seaside resort captivates holidaymakers every year in search of authenticity.

Capital of the Côte d'Albâtre, Fécamp is located on the Normandy coast less than 2 hours from Paris. Former capital of the Dukes of Normandy, the town is increasingly invited to come and discover its charms: its past first of all, has made it one of the most important cultural destinations in Normandy today. Stroll through its fishing port (France's leading cod port) and yachting port, to immerse yourself as much as possible in its welcoming atmosphere. Among the places to visit at all costs are the Abbey of the Holy Trinity, the Palace of the Dukes of Normandy or the Benedictine Palace. The abbey church is one of the most impressive monuments in Fécamp: 127 metres long, it surprises with the light diffused by its stained glass windows. Its Norman Gothic decorations and its nave are particularly worth a look. Not far away, overlooking the church, the Ducal Palace is also worth a detour: today in ruins, it remains imposing and quite well preserved. For the record, it was built in the 10th and 12th centuries, and was one of the very first residences of the Dukes of the region. And how to visit Fécamp without going through the Benedictine Palace: a true treasure of local architecture, this monument of Gothic and Renaissance inspiration, emblematic of Fécamp, impresses its visitors. The place where Benedictine liquor is made, this imposing colourful palace is now a huge museum, which houses numerous exhibitions of painting, sculpture, ironworks and works of modern art.

Art, precisely, Fécamp is one of its cradles: if directors and writers have historically trodden the pebbles of the seaside resort (like Maupassant in particular), it is indeed the painters who, in large numbers, came to find inspiration there. The Impressionists, particularly, such as Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Eugène Boudin and Claude Monet in particular, have immortalized the curves of this city in white light with their pen. For a cultural break, the Musée des Pêcheries de Fécamp is worth a visit: located in an old cod farm (rehabilitated and cleaned of all odours, don't worry), this unusual place houses many collections retracing the history of fishing and the Fécampois. If it is worth a visit for the richness of its works, we also recommend that you climb to its belvedere to discover the magnificent view over all of Fécamp and the Albâtre Coast.

On the sporting side, Fécamp offers a wide range of activities for everyone. First of all, the bicycle is certainly the best means of transport you can choose. The Coastal Cycle Route of the Côte d'Albâtre will allow you to discover the entire coast and its white chalk cliffs for more than 180 kilometres, from Fécamp to Le Havre via Le Tréport, Étretat, Dieppe, Yport and Saint-Valery-en-Caux. For beautiful views of the coastline, don't miss Cap Fagnet: the highest point on the Côte d'Albâtre, it reveals magnificent panoramas from its 105 metres high. At sunrise and sunset, the view over the cliff is breathtaking! Swimming is certainly the most popular activity in Fécamp: from its wide pebble beach, nearly a kilometre long, you can opt for a relaxing break or for some tough afternoons. On the agenda? Sailing, paddle, canoeing, kayaking, surfing, catamaran, scuba diving and bodyboarding... One thing is for sure, you won't be bored!
