Camping Etennemare

Camping Etennemare is in the small fishing village of Saint-Valery-en-Caux on the Albâtre coast, between Dieppe and Fécamp, all of which should suggest lots of opps for outdoor play. The town dates back to the seventh century and has a beach that's sandy at low tide, edged by cliffs that overlook the Channel. Another pebbly beach as well as a 15th-century castle are at Dieppe, the port town at which you must sample scallops. The famed smoked herring dishes of these parts hail from Fécamp, another fishing port where catches have been landed for over a thousand years. Normandy's capital Rouen is known for many a thing, such as the Notre Dame cathedral with butter tower, its castle, the many museums including the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen with works by Monet, and the Jardin des Plantes de Rouen botanical gardens. For outdoorsy pursuits around the site, hire a kayak in the Centre Nautique de la Côte d'Albâtre, play golf or tennis, or have a spot of fishing or horse riding.
