Camping de Reneville

Saunter off to Veules-les-Roses (45 minutes’ drive), yet another sublime seaside location, and one with half-timbered cottages, tasty oysters and a beach for peaceful swims. Le Havre (45 minutes) is livelier - in fact, the city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site designed by Auguste Perret and rebuilt after the end of World War II. Chill out at the beach and marina, check out the modern art museum or take a tour of the centre. In Fécamp itself, you may want to trace the history of cocoa and sink your teeth into the chocolate museum at Hautot Chocolatier (10 minutes’ walk) - quite literally, since tastings are involved. Other interesting sites include the Fisheries Museum (15 minutes), which recounts the city’s fishing traditions and includes boat models, and Palais Bénédictine (10 minutes), a Gothic palace that belongs to the founder of the Benedictine liqueur. Perhaps you’d like to visit a nature reserve too. Parc Naturel Régional des Boucles de la Seine Normande (55 minutes) is by no means small. There are forests, swamps, farmland and castles across the reserve, as well as a Fruit Trail and Thatched Cottage Trail.
