In Le Tréport, come and visit the different viewpoints:
This natural wood of oak and ash, nestled in the hollow of the cliff, unique on the Channel coast. Became a renowned seaside resort at the beginning of the 20th century.
This site protected from the wind and spray allows lush vegetation to flourish: beeches, oaks, carpets of hyacinths and daffodils rub shoulders with Belle Epoque villas perched on their promontory.
Supporting old postcards, you will discover the history of this seaside resort born in 1898, the Lumen or Fanfreluche villas, will take you to the Victor Hugo viewpoint…
Come and visit the Royal city between Land and Sea:
The Louis Philippe Castle Museum: built by the Duke of Guise in the 16th century, it evolved over the centuries and became the favorite residence of the last king of the French; Louis Philippe. In 2012, magnificent restoration of the Galerie de Guise, a sumptuous salon with its collection of 46 portraits.
The Park and the French Garden: charming places that invite you to stroll.
The Collegiate Church of Notre Dame and its crypt: construction began in the second half of the 12th century in honor of Saint Laurent O’toole, Archbishop of Dublin, who died in Eu in 1180. Monument of superb proportions, characteristic of the Franco-Norman pre-Gothic era, original nave, choir rebuilt in the 15th century and organs from the 17th century.
Chapel of the Jesuit College: The chapel was built in 1613 by Catherine de Clèves, in memory of her husband, Henri de Lorrain, Duke of Guise, assassinated in Blois in 1588.
Hôtel Dieu: hospital complex, in brick and with wooden parts, from the 17th century. Only the part where the library is located is open. Rare covered cemetery, resting place for nuns.
Saint Laurent Chapel: 19th century built in homage to the Archbishop of Dublin, Saint O’toole. At an altitude of 100m, it offers a breathtaking view of the Bresle estuary, the town of Eu and its sisters, Mers and Le Tréport.
First of a low height, about thirty meters, the cliffs rise gradually to reach more than eighty meters south of the village.
The cliffs first bend slightly at the level of the town center which is built on the sides of a valleuse (dry valley) whose main street occupies the bottom.
They bend again at the level of the Bois de Cise, which allowed a wood to form and then a hamlet of villas to settle. From the top of the cliffs, the view is exceptional.
To the south, you can see the entrance to the port of Tréport and, much further, the tip of Ailly with its lighthouse which is located beyond Dieppe.
To the north, we see the low fields, Cayeux, the Baie de Somme and beyond the dunes of Marquenterre. The view thus extends over nearly 60 km of coastline.
Come and walk in the footsteps of Victor Hugo, who stayed there in 1837, and discover his ecclesiastical belfry of the Saint-Pierre church dating from the 14th century.

Seals rest out of the water at low tide on roosts (emerged sandbanks at low tide) to regenerate their energy, to give birth and nurse the young, to moult…
You have to be very careful, if you approach them too closely, they get scared and go back to the water, sometimes abandoning the non-emancipated babies who cannot survive a premature separation.
The Picardie Nature association watches over the colony, ensures the prevention of walkers, kayakers and riders so that they respect a minimum distance of 300 meters and treats baby seals abandoned at the care center.
