As the shoreline of the Côte d'Albâtre is eroding at a ferocious rate, it's conceivable that the small resorts here, tucked in among the cliffs at the ends of a succession of valleys, may not last more than another century or so. For the moment, however, they are quietly prospering, with casinos, sports centres and yacht marinas ensuring a modest but steady summer trade. To the east of DieppeLe Tréport is pleasant enough, but the obvious direction to head is west, where you can take your pick of St-Valéry, Fécamp and the best of the bunch, Étretat.
