 Your guide to unmissable spots

A vibrant local scene

There are places where you immediately feel at home.

In Seine-Maritime, there’s no shortage of such places: cool cafés, eclectic boutiques, trendy restaurants… the local scene is bustling and full of surprises.

Here, you don’t just stroll around: you explore, you discover, you vibrate. Every street corner has its own little moment of happiness and escape, where you’re always welcome.

 Rouen, Le Havre, Dieppe... and beyond!

Did you think Rouen was a quiet, historic city? Think again. This is where you can enjoy ultra-cool spots like Le Quartier Libre, a place where creatives, gourmets and music lovers meet. But the magic isn’t limited to Rouen.

Head for Le Havre, a city in the throes of change, where you’ll find some unusual addresses: Hangar Zéro, a creative space where artisans and designers meet, and a little further south, in Dieppe, the oldest seaside resort has understood the potential of young people and trendsetters. Here you’ll find concept stores as unexpected as they are trendy, just a stone’s throw from the sea. The eclectic and cosyEpsom Bar invites you to enjoy a house cocktail while listening to jazzy music, with a breathtaking view of the sea.

 Where to have a drink? Where to shop? Where to eat?

In Le Havre, dive into the world of The Architect, a speakeasy where the Prohibition atmosphere almost makes you forget we’re in the 21st century. If you’re the kind of person who never says no to a set, head to Léon, where the beats of local DJs will get your evenings buzzing.

Do you like art, shopping and music that sticks in your ears? La Halle aux poissons in Le Havre is the perfect mix: exhibitions, arty boutique-workshops and effervescent DJ sets. In Rouen, theArkose Cantine welcomes you to a climbing gym (yes, you read that right) for a bite to eat, a climb, then a comfortable curl up on a sofa.

Cultural and cool, it’s a winning combo! And if you’re looking to combine culture and relaxation, Le Tetris in Le Havre opens its doors to you in the unique setting of Fort de Tourneville, a not-to-be-missed venue with a program as varied as it is inspiring.

To party?

On the cultural front, Le Volcan, Le Havre’s national stage, offers a breathtaking program of theater, dance and music to surprise and delight. For an unforgettable dinner and show, Le Puits Enchanté in Doudeville invites you to a magical and convivial cabaret, at the crossroads of the arts and festivities.
