Local flavors of Seine-Maritime

Meet the passionate people who put their heart and soul into your food. In the surrounding orchards, apples are transformed into sparkling cider, to be enjoyed with a heart-shaped piece of Neufchâtel toast. Take a detour to Ferme de Bray, where a century-old cider press sits alongside stories from the past, or visit the Palais Bénédictine in Fécamp for a shot of history and liqueur. Don’t miss the herring or scallop festivals, where sea chanteys accompany your tastings. Here, tradition is a feast.

Your plate is a work of art. Under the vaulted ceiling of a manor house, atop a cliff, or in the intimacy of a fishing port, chefs transform local treasures into unforgettable moments. From a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants to cosy farm inns, there’s something for everyone: duck à la rouennaise, melting scallops or creamy Neufchâtel. Wherever you are, land and sea meet in a delicious waltz.

Markets in Seine-Maritime are a living spectacle. You come for the overflowing baskets, the tantalizing smells and the heated discussions with the producers. Imagine a morning in Dieppe, a steaming cup of coffee in one hand, a pink shrimp in the other, debating the best way to cook turbot.
