This Vélomaritime stage is packed with history. Leaving Fécamp, admire the breathtaking views from Senneville's coastal semaphore station. Along this stretch, you follow in the footsteps of famed 19th-century Austrian Empress Elisabeth, or Sissi, who found solace bathing in the sea below the cliffs of the Petites and Grandes Dalles and resting at the peaceful Château de Sassetot-le-Mauconduit. For a gentle, family-friendly alternative between Fécamp and Dieppe, ride along the Véloroute du Lin (find more information on this below).Pour une alternative douce et familiale entre Fécamp et Dieppe, empruntez la Véloroute du Lin (plus d'informations ci-dessous).

From Saint-Valery-en-Caux to Dieppe, the Vélomaritime leads cyclists via some of the finest little gems along eastern Normandy's Côte d'Albâtre stretch of coast. At Veules-les-Roses, meander down beside the diminutive Veules River through the lovely lanes of this member of the association of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. At Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer, along the promenade, take in this resort's famed beach huts. At Varengeville-sur-Mer, tackle the slope up to the cliffside chapel with its magnificent Channel views, also evoked in a stained-glass window inside, by great Cubist artist George Braque.
