Formule 1 Dieppe

Best Time to Go

by dimilag

Dieppe is probably best enjoyed between the months of May and October when the weather is pleasant and more reliable. The busiest time tends to be the first two weeks of August, when many French are on holiday; the end of August can also be a very busy time on the roads with many Parisians heading home after their summer holidays.

Quartier de Pollet

The old fishing quarter of Dieppe is a lovely place to walk with its winding lanes, narrow flights of steps and brick and flint fishermen’s cottages. It’s also where the painter Walter Sickert lived and worked.

Make the most of Dieppe

"Eating"

To be honest one of the best things about Dieppe is the number of places to eat, the choices are vast! Around the harbour there must be at least 20, for lunch then these are fine, Moules Frites when in season can be found in each of them, along with those huge sea food platters! in the evening though there are better choices, so look around.

"The lido"

Due to be completed in January 2007, it was not open in early April but, not too far away from being completed. When finished it will be a great place to spend some time, especially if you have kids. To be found on the seafront near to the castle.

I have always wanted to go to Dieppe, well since I was 12 years old anyway. Ok, it isn't the most exciting place in France, but it was one of the first places that I learnt about during my French lessons at school. For whatever reason, the early studies were based around the port town of Dieppe and I hoped that I would visit it one day for myself, and perhaps ask for directions to 'la gare' or how to get to 'le chateau'.

So, during a driving holiday in Normandy I made sure we had at least a few hours to get a feel for this ancient seaside town. And I was glad that we did!
