The most beautiful towns in Upper Normandy: camping near Dieppe
MERS-LES-BAINS
- Saint-Martin Church : Saint-Martin Church was designed by the talented Amiens architect Edmond Douillet, whose reputation as a church builder was already well established. He preferred to draw inspiration from Christian basilicas with Byzantine domes.
- Notre-Dame-de-la-Falaise: also known as Notre Dame des flots, was inaugurated on August 18, 1878. Its 7-meter-high plinth features three bas-reliefs – by local sculptor Marie-Josephe Cotelle Clère – representing the patron saints of the 3 “sister towns”: Saint-Jacques for Le Tréport, Saint-Laurent for Eu and Saint-Martin for Mers-les-Bains.
- Belle Époque villas: with the discovery of sea bathing and its therapeutic benefits, Mers underwent spectacular development. At the end of the 19th century, the railroads brought the first holidaymakers, known as “Baigneurs”, to our shores. These bathers, drawn from the aristocracy and wealthy bourgeoisie of the time, were to settle here, building the first second homes of our modern world.
