Varengeville-sur-Mer, the marine churchyard and the church

A few kilometres away from Dieppe, the village of Varengeville-sur-Mer is one of the most fascinating and appealing places along the Alabaster Coast... In the heart of this garden-like village, follow the small road that leads to the church. It is bordered with pretty houses that you can notice, hidden behind the foliage...

At the end of this picturesque road, the scenery is breathtaking... The small church of Saint-Valery and its graveyard are clinging to the side of the cliff, 80 metres (262 ft.) high above the sea. The eye is immediately caught by the view: a ribbon of majestic cliffs unfolds as far as the eye can see...

Prefer the early morning light to visit this fascinating place where rests Georges Braque, on the site that inspired him so much. The artist had indeed been mesmerised by Varengeville, to the extent of having a house built there and living there 6 months a year for 35 years. In the church, on the right of the altaryou can notice the stained-glass window he made, which floods the choir with a blue light...

You will leave this unique site with the feeling of being privileged to have discovered such a place.
