Seine-Maritime, one of the best places to eat in France, invites you to try gourmet specialties.
We will lead you through the country, from the Pays de Caux to the Bresle valley, via small paths and farmyards in the Pays de Bray. Let's stop at authentic markets in Luneray, Cany-Barville, Clères, at the must-see market in Buchy, and so many others that are all full of fascinating encounters with local producers, of colourful and lively atmospheres and more especially of top-quality products, which make those markets genuine gourmet events.
You thought you knew all about apples, but in Seine-Maritime you can enjoy it as an aperitif, for a snack, in sweets, for dessert, turned into cider, Calvados, apple juice, apple and caramel spread, as a "douillon" (an apple baked in pastry)…
During your visit, captivated by the beauty of our landscapes, you wonder why they are so green? Well, simply to always offer you the best milk you can possibly find, smooth and soft cream, top quality farmhouse raw butter, salted or unsalted, and very creamy cheeses. Taste Neufchâtel cheese and you will understand! Its mildness and its character make it a delicious and unique cheese, with a subtle hint of salt. This AOC (controlled designation of origin) cheese from the Pays de Bray, which you can choose shaped as a brick, a square, a cylinder and more often as a heart, is a very old cheese. The legend says that young women from the area used to offer it to English soldiers during the Hundred Years' War to show their love. They are forgiven…
The wealth of our terroir, treasured, protected by the producers and magnified by the chefs and cooks, allow Seine-Maritime's countryside to be an exceptional gourmet destination.
Surprise your taste buds!
