Normandy Places Of Interest

Fecamp

Fecamp is half between Dieppe and Le Havre and is a very serious fishing port with an attractive seafront promenade.

It has also a pilgrimage centre since the 1st century, when it is said that a casket containing precious drops of Jesus' blood was washed ashore. An abbey was promptly built to house the holy relic.  Unfortunately it is a ruin today. Then in the 12th century the Abbatiale de la Trinite was built. A must see on any trip.

Fecamp is also known for Benedictine, first made in 1863 from an old monastic receipe.  It is still distilled at the Palais Benedictine where you can taste and buy.

Fecamp is also home to one of our favourite family run local fish restaurants. Combine this with a trip to Etretat and enjoy a unique day out.
