Swimming in the sea, as well as in the swimming pool along the sea in Dieppe. Beaches at Quiberville-sur-Mer or Pourville-sur-Mer are ideal to play with kites. Tennis and sailing are possible in the surrounding villages. Horse-back riding is available at Offranville and Hautot-sur-Mer. There is a great golf course overlooking the sea between Varengeville and Dieppe. Paragliding and other flying sports in Saint-Aubin-sur-Scie. Cultural and tourist activities The house is located next to the
“Bois des Moutiers”, one of the most beautiful flower parks in France. Nearby there is also the William Farcy Floral Park, a charming flower park in Offranville. In the neighbouring village of Vasterival there is the magnificent
park of Vasterival, owned by Princes Sturdza. The largest collection of hortensias in the world (more than 1000 types) can be visited in Varengeville (
Shamrock collection). The
castle of Miromesnil, where Guy De Maupassant spent his youth, is certainly worth a visit, as well as the
Manoir d’Ango, the château home of Jehan Ango, a pirate and one of Dieppe's most historically flamboyant characters. The coast and the countryside are rich of picturesque villages:
Veules-les Roses,
Saint-Valery-en-Caux,
Etretat,
Luneray,
La Chapelle-sur-Dun... Culinary The
“Auberge du Relais” is the restaurant in Varengeville, with a good menu, friendly staff and good prices. In the day it is a brasserie where you can have a bite in the garden. On the other side of Varengeville, in Pourville-sur-Mer, you have the “Huitrière”, where you can eat oysters and sea fruits on the terrace overlooking the sea (not to be missed). Further up, “Les Régates”, a bar/restaurant with a swinging atmosphere, also on the sea. Directions From Dieppe, take the road along the coast (D75) – direction Saint-Valéry-en-Caux, pass Pourville-sur-Mer. When you arrive in Varengeville-sur-Mer, pass the shops, take a right at the Auberge du Relais and you are in the Route de l’Eglise (the church is at the end of the road – you cannot go any further except down the cliffs in the sea….) The house is right after the entrance of the Bois des Moutiers, on the right (you cannot see it, because it’s hidden by the trees). There is a chain closing the driveway.
