Normandy

Le Pays de Caux


From London, and of course from the south of England, le Pays de Caux is an ideal week-end or short break destination. The Chunnel or the ferries to Dieppe are an easy junction.

The Pays de Caux is the most secret but most authentic part of Normandy. Guy de Maupassant who personalized this special Norman spirit grew up in the Pays de Caux. He remained faithful to his region during his entire short life (see downpage).

Chalk streams, white cliffs, thatched roofs, half timbered walls, fishers harbors and village bistrots, everything is there for a perfect holiday. Golfers should not miss the fabulous golf course of Etretat viewing the sea from the vertigo top of the cliffs.

Fly Fishing

The Pays de caux (1) offers excellent chalk-streams for brown trout and is also highly reputed for sea run trout. There are good runs from June to October. Salmon is occasionally caught during sea trout sessions.


(1) Caux means chalk in ancient Norman.
