Is Le Tréport a good choice for your holidays?
An authentic seaside resort in Seine-Maritime
Le Tréport's charm lies in its authentic maritime atmosphere, where the sister towns of Mers-les-Bains and Eu form an exceptional seaside trio. Daily life revolves around the fish market, punctuated by the arrival of the fishing boats and the lively discussions of the sailors. Along the pebble beach, old ceramic plaques tell the story of this Norman resort, while the remains of Saint-Michel Abbey watch over the town from the heights. Le Tréport's maritime identity can also be seen in its glass workshops, testimony to a centuries-old local craft, and its lighthouse, which still guides ships. The Musée du Vieux Tréport carefully preserves the memory of this maritime town, from the splendours of the Louis-Philippe era to the dark days of the Second World War.
A lively, bustling fishing port
From the first light of dawn, the port of Le Tréport awakens to the rhythm of the trawlers returning from their night's fishing. The quaysides quickly come alive with the comings and goings of the fishmongers and the ballet of crates of fresh fish. The auction stalls sell sea bass, sole and mackerel alongside scallops, depending on the season.
In the afternoon, visitors mingle with sailors to watch the meticulous work of fishermen preparing their nets. The terraces of the port's restaurants offer a breathtaking view of this daily spectacle, where pleasure boats and professional fishing vessels meet in an authentic atmosphere.
What to do in Le Tréport during your stay
The funicular, a panoramic ascent
Crossing the chalk cliffs since 1908, this means of transport, unique in Europe, offers visitors a striking experience. In less than three minutes, the four automated cabins transport you between the lower town and the panoramic terraces, following a vertiginous gradient of more than 60%. Free and accessible all year round, the funicular operates from 7.45am to midnight in summer.
Halfway along the route, the vaulted brick tunnels bear witness to the expertise of the builders of the time. This technical feat, originally designed for the guests of the Grand Hôtel Trianon, has become a true symbol of Tréport, harmoniously linking the Cordiers district to the heights of the seaside resort.
Beaches between pebbles and tides
The beach at Le Tréport reveals two faces as the tide goes by: at high tide, its carpet of grey pebbles stretches for 800 metres along the majestic cliffs, while at low tide, a vast expanse of fine sand is revealed, offering an ideal campground for families. Beach huts with colourful roofs dot the seafront, recalling the charm of the seaside resorts of yesteryear.
Lovers of water sports can take advantage of this exceptional setting to go kayaking or windsurfing, while strollers stroll along the dike admiring the ballet of fishing boats. At low tide, fishing on foot becomes an exciting adventure, with crabs and shellfish to be found in the rocks.
The casino and its entertainment
The JOA Casino turns your evenings in Le Tréport into memorable moments with its varied entertainment programme. Themed evenings change with the seasons: dinner shows, salsa evenings, lively karaoke and blackjack tournaments create a unique festive atmosphere.
The complex offers complete experience with its panoramic bar overlooking the sea and its restaurant "Le Homard Bleu", where the flavours of the sea combine with the pleasures of gambling. The 88 slot machines and electronic roulette attract both novices and experienced players in a friendly atmosphere typical of Normandy.
The tourist office at your service
The Destination Le Tréport-Mers Tourist Office is the nerve centre of the resort, welcoming holidaymakers in a friendly setting on the Quai Sadi Carnot. A multilingual team is on hand to provide detailed maps of hiking and cycling routes to explore the Côte d'Albâtre. The advisors share their best addresses and organise themed guided tours from April to October.
Where to go in Le Tréport?
The Cordiers district, the heart of the town
At the foot of the highest cliffs in Europe, the Cordiers district reveals its narrow-cobbled streets lined with elegant multi-storey houses. These typical residences, built on a bed of pebbles in the 18th century, boast magnificent wrought-iron balconies and colourful bow windows that bear witness to Le Tréport's maritime past.
Between the sea and the cliffs, this maze of small parallel streets preserves the memory of the old "cordiers cordants" fishermen, who practised their art with simple ropes and hooks. The facades, often adorned with ceramic plaques with marine motifs, tell the story of these seafaring families who shaped the identity of the district.
The majestic cliffs
The breathtaking spectacle of the Tréport cliffs impresses with its height of over 100 metres. These giants of white chalk, among the highest in Europe, reveal their thousand-year-old strata to hikers following the customs path. At the top, a lookout offers a panoramic view of the English Channel and the Bay of the Somme.
The Kahl-burg, a German bunker dug into the rock during the Second World War, adds a historic touch to this aerial walk. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the monumental 365-step staircase, a real physical challenge rewarded by breathtaking views of the port below.
The marina and its surroundings
Le Tréport marina welcomes sailors in a privileged setting, with a capacity of around a hundred places afloat in the outer harbour. Access is via a modern lock, accessible 4 hours before and after high tide. Boaters will appreciate the pontoons equipped with water and electricity, as well as the sanitary facilities with showers.
The quayside promenade offers a pleasant stroll lined with small shops and restaurants, where visitors can watch the boats come and go. Cycle hire is available for exploring the surrounding area, including the cycle route linking the Communauté de communes des Villes Sœurs along the coast.
What is Le Tréport's speciality?
The local fish market and its treasures
The scent of the sea and the morning bustle of the municipal fish market on the Quai François 1er tell the story of Le Tréport's lively history. In this temple of seafood, the colourful stalls are brimming with freshly landed local specialities: plaice, the king of flatfish, delicate sole and majestic turbot sit alongside scallops from the bay.
The fishermen unveil their tidal treasures at dawn, perpetuating an ancestral know-how. The comings and goings of locals and holidaymakers create the atmosphere of a traditional market, where cooking tips mingle with fishing tales.
Traditional restaurants
On the lively quaysides of the port, the traditional restaurants of Le Tréport perpetuate authentic culinary know-how. In a warm atmosphere, the establishments in the Cordiers district offer maritime specialities such as sole meunière and moules marinières, served in a decor typical of fishermen's houses. Along the Promenade François 1er, the sunny terraces invite you to savour generous Normandy cuisine, where seafood harmoniously blends with local produce.
