Dieppe: its history, its assets

Born on the estuary of the "Deep", Dieppe owes its Viking name to the natural depth that allowed easy boarding. From William the Conqueror, who established a port there for his trade with England, until the 16th century when it became the first port in Normandy, Dieppe has continued to play a key role in history.

The famous navigator Jehan Ango, close to François I, developed his fleet in Dieppe to conquer the new world. This period was very prosperous. Jehan Ango marked the Renaissance era by building a magnificent manor house in Varengeville, inspired by Italian architecture. It can still be visited today. In the 19th century, the Duchess of Berry gave birth to the fashion for sea bathing. The first seaside resort in France was born. In 1848, the opening of the railway lines between Paris and Dieppe on the one hand, and from London to Brighton on the other, allowed the development of the cross-Channel. The Belle Époque saw the city become a popular holiday destination for the international aristocracy, as well as a source of inspiration for many artists. The casino of the time was a sort of immense colonial-style palace.

Today, Dieppe remains a dynamic port on the Alabaster Coast, combining fishing, trade, cross-Channel and pleasure boating, while preserving traces of its rich maritime past.
