A remarkable location
The opportunity to enjoy the sensational view of Pourville-sur-Mer, of the famous cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre painted by Claude Monet, was seized by installing large bay windows, letting in natural light. The living rooms have endless views of the sea and fabulous sunsets. The English Channel and its shades of light continue to inspire today's painters, in the legacy of the Impressionists. More recently, in the neighboring town of Varengeville-sur-Mer, Georges Braque took up residence and received all his contemporary painter friends like Picasso and many others.
A real architect’s house
This contemporary house is inspired by American architecture from the 50s and 60s, from this period which counts as one of the most significant and creative in the history of design. Oriented south/west, it is quite exceptional because it demonstrates the audacity of the architect Jean Percillier to create a house ahead of its time. Built in 1972, the exterior appearance of this villa in no way suffers from comparison with today's constructions. Only the interior layout and decoration deserve to be brought up to date. Today, regulatory and urban developments no longer allow us to imagine building in our time on such a privileged site, which makes this property unique.

Dieppe, historic city of the Côte d’Albâtre
A rare setting, 3km from Dieppe and its historic center - a maritime city with four ports - its restaurants and the activities of a city which lives all year round, the cultural events of a seaside city, its renowned market on Saturday morning, its balneotherapy center, its Casino, its 18-hole golf course… Dieppe is connected to Great Britain by its cross-Channel link to Brighton, a typical neo-colonial city in England. The crossing is carried out by two daily rotations in comfortable ferryboats. At the fishing port, you will buy your scallops and other fish. Your boating friends can come and visit you by the marina where 69 moorings are reserved for them out of the 363 places, without any tidal constraints.
The port city, thanks among others to the Duchess of Berry, became the first French seaside city. As early as 1824, it was in Dieppe, in Normandy, that the first sea baths began, well before Trouville, Étretat, Cabourg, Deauville. The success of sea bathing was amplified by the arrival of the railway in Dieppe in 1848 from Paris Saint Lazare. Today, the A14 and the A13 connect Dieppe to Paris Porte Maillot in two hours, the A16 to Calais to Dover in three hours and six hours from London.
