Welcome to Dieppe!
Dieppe is a town in Normandy on the north coast of France, approximately opposite Brighton on the English coast.
Dieppe has a long and interesting history, having been an important port linking William the Conqueror's English kingdom with his Normandy duchy in the 11th century, and later an important port for smuggling. It endured centuries of conflict right up until 1944. Today, it's an important ferry and fishing port, and a pleasant seaside resort.
Dieppe (Norman: Dgieppe) is a coastal commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region of northern France.
A port on the English Channel, at the mouth of the river Arques, famous for its scallops, and with a regular ferry service to Newhaven in England, Dieppe also has a popular pebbled beach, a 15th-century castle and the churches of Saint-Jacques and Saint-Remi. The mouth of the river Scie lies at Hautot-Sur-Mer, directly to the west of Dieppe.
The inhabitants of the town of Dieppe are called Dieppois (m) and Dieppoise (f) in French.
