Normandy department, Seine-Maritime offers to its visitors an incredible stay between land and sea. Rouen, Le Havre, are cities to discover for their dynamism and their very particular architecture. There are also picturesque villages not to be missed, such as La Bouille, and seaside towns where you can enjoy the pleasures of the beach. Let's mention the famous Étretat, but also Fécamp and Veules-les-Roses. The latter was a very popular vacation spot in the 19th century, with the regular visit of a certain Victor Hugo. Moreover, many artists have been inspired by the Seine-Maritime and its landscapes, especially the impressionist painters. From the Boucles de la Seine Regional Nature Park, with its forests, marshes, hills and plains, to the impressive cliffs of the Alabaster Coast and the Pays de Bray with its rolling green meadows, there is plenty to marvel at. On foot or by bike, hiking in Seine-Maritime is an opportunity to get closer to a preserved nature, to go in no time from the countryside to the sea, and to be seduced here and there by typical communes, culinary specificities and heritage jewels, such as the abbey of Jumièges.
