 A port that tells stories

The port of Saint-Valery-en-Caux, in the heart of the town, tells the story of centuries of maritime life. Originally created in the XIIIᵉ century for herring fishing, it is now a marina welcoming some 550 boats.

Lovers of fresh produce won’t want to miss the ballet of trawlers returning to the quayside, where stalls are stocked with sole, crabs and whelks. A colorful spectacle to savor, basket in hand!

Want to extend your escape? Rent a boat or join the Club Nautique Valériquais for an outing at sea. Imagine yourself sailing along, the wind in your hair, the Saint-Valery-en-Caux lighthouse waving at you as the sun sets… pure escape!

 Between cliffs and history: adventure awaits you

From the outer harbor, climb up to the cliffs for a breathtaking panorama: the sea as far as the eye can see, the town center rebuilt after the Second World War and the typical Normandy pebble beach.

This is where you’ll find the 51st Highland Division monument, a tribute to those who fought for freedom.

Continue to the Costes et Bellonte monument, perched on the cliff below. This memorial celebrates the aviators who flew over Saint-Valery before their first Paris-New York crossing in 1930. Here, history meets nature for a walk full of surprises.

 A vibrant escape to the heart of our heritage

As you explore, don’t miss the Maison Henri IV, a carved wooden architectural gem dating from the XVIᵉ century. Observe its details: exotic figures evoking early Norman explorations. The visit reveals a fascinating piece of local history.

A short detour to the Notre-Dame de Bon Port chapel, with its breathtaking stained-glass windows, is a must. A place of prayer for sailors, it offers a surprising break between two discoveries.

 A lively seaside resort

Saint-Valery-en-Caux also offers the simple pleasure of relaxing on the pebble beach, discovering the coastline on a paddle or introducing your little adventurers to sailing. Need a dose of adrenalin? Try a catamaran or sea kayak, perfect for exploring hidden coves.

The town center, with its shops, restaurants and casino, is ideal for a stroll or an evening out. Let yourself be tempted by a local speciality in one of the lively bistros.
