Tips

It is technically possible to climb to the gates of the Château de Dieppe by bike via an alley that ends in a dead end. You can even step through the front porch to see it in more detail and from various angles.
The point of view is located a little above on the Boulevard de la mer.
Facing the sea and facing the city, the castle of Dieppe looks down on the city below, which makes some people say that it was erected more to watch over the city than to defend it. The first construction of the castle is contemporary with that of the fortification walls of the city (between 1340 and 1360).
In the 16th century, under François 1er, the maritime power of Dieppe reached its peak. In town, the school of cartography records for the king the latest information from the known world. Departing from Dieppe, the ships of the shipowner Jehan Ango criss-cross the seas of the world, from Sumatra to the Brazilian or Canadian coasts. Rendering immense services to François 1er, the latter moved to Dieppe to make him viscount and appoint him governor of the city. In Varengeville-sur-Mer, his superb manor bears witness to his wealth and the influence of the town at that time.
The castle now houses the Municipal Museum of Dieppe.
