Tourism in Normandy: Dieppe
Discover the oldest seaside resort in France and the country’s kite capital
Dieppe is a charming seaside resort on the English Channel, located just 90 minutes from McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Paris-Giverny. The town’s cultural significance stretches from the literary to the historical, as the hometown of famous French writer Guy de Maupassant and the setting of many of his novels, as well as the site of the first unsuccessful attempt of D-Day in 1942, during the Second World War. Today, Dieppe is one of the jewels of the ‘Opal Coast’.
