Four seasons and a thousand adventures in Seine-Maritime

To the rhythm of the seasons

In Seine-Maritime, every moment of the year has its own charm, energy and discoveries.

As the days lengthen, we dream of spring in bloom and strolls in the fresh air. In summer, it’s time for festivities and thrills on the water’s edge. Autumn is a time for warm colors and gourmet escapades. And winter? It’s all about coziness, cocooning and cultural experiences.

There’s no off-season here: between the sea, the city, the countryside and the Seine, there’s always a magical corner to explore. Where to go?

01 

Spring, like a breath of fresh air

The sun comes out, and everything wakes up. It’s time toexplore the valleys with the family, those secret paths that lead to hidden beaches. Picnics on the banks of the Seine are improvised under the blossoming apple trees. On country lanes, you can hop on a bike and flirt with freedom. And why not let the narrow streets of the surrounding villages be your guide, just for the pleasure of getting lost?

Spring in Seine-Maritime promises a fresh and poetic start.

Summer, a never-ending adventure

When temperatures rise, Seine-Maritime comes alive. Beaches become playgrounds for paddleboarding, kiteboarding and refreshing swims. Coastal paths become trail scenes for the more athletic, while festivals light up evenings with music and laughter. And then there are the sunsets over the cliffs of Étretat, where sea and sky kiss in an explosion of color. Here, every summer day is an adventure to be experienced.

Autumn, in slow and warm mode

When the leaves turn red, Seine-Maritime invites you to slow down and enjoy. The forests become veritable tableaux, ideal for walking or cycling. The villages and local markets are bursting with autumnal flavours, from juicy apples to sparkling ciders for a well-deserved gourmet break. As for the Côte d’Albâtre and the banks of the Seine, they are decked out in colors we’ve never seen before. Autumn in Seine-Maritime is a season just waiting to be experienced!

Winter, all sweetness and surprises

Winter in Seine-Maritime is the art of cocooning without ever getting bored. Cosy up in a museum or snuggle up in front of the fireplace, savoring local stories and flavors. The harbors, with their dancing lights and typical melodies, invite you to stroll around wrapped up in a blanket. Deserted beaches take on a mystical air, perfect for invigorating strolls. And between two discoveries, it’s impossible to resist a gourmet break: a hot chocolate in Dieppe or a well-deserved sip of calvados. Here, winter promises comfort and wonder.
