Saint-Aubin Church

Highlight • Other

Built on earlier foundations, most of the current historic church building is from 1605, with some vestiges in the western gables remaining of an earlier building destroyed in 1474 by the troups of Charles the Bold.

'Speechless' Clifftop trail

Highlight • Other

It can make you speechless (not just the translation errors on the signs ;-)
-- Spectacular views along the coast from the top of the cliffs. The trail used to continue where -- the aptly named -- Rue Chewington ends, as the ocean continues to chew on the receding cliffs. Careful not to get too close to the edge even outside the fenced area: the progression of the cliff erosion can be seen in the fact that until 2018 the gate was open for bikers and hikers. Higher fences and signs came in 2022, and by 2023 these entirely blocked the trail. It is safer to take a short detour via the parallel Rue Jeanne d'Arc, and at its end return to the Chemin des Douaniers road at the other side of the closure to enjoy the spectacular ride along the cliff. The official EuroVelo 4 Route follows the busy main road further inland, which is less enjoyable and misses this excellent view.

From here you can appreciate the cliffs south of Tréport. Be careful if you have vertigo, because the cliffs are really impressive! Chalk walls where a particular vegetation has adapted to the difficult conditions of the ground. If you ever need to orient yourself, a sign of arrows shows you the distance to major cities: Paris, London, Beauvais, etc.

At the top of a steep hill and at the arrival of a funicular, the view is splendid there in good weather.

Aerial view of Le Tréport

Highlight • Viewpoint

In 1872, the railway connecting Le Treport and Mers-les-Bains with Paris was opened. But the tourist development of both places lagged behind that of other places on the Alabaster Coast.
One of the drawbacks of Le Treport is that the coastal strip, which is attractive to tourists, is narrow. The rest of the place is more than 100 meters higher on the chalk cliffs. In 1880 the first proposal was made to build a funicular, which would connect the lower town with the higher parts. This met a lot of resistance. It was not until 1907 that the construction of the funicular began, which opened on July 1, 1908. The architectural style of the upper station in steel and brick was reminiscent of the stations Javel and Grenelle[2] in Paris. Wooden wagons moved up and down with the help of cables.
The project was a success in the first years, but as a result of the First World War and the subsequent stock market crash of 1929, the operation became less and less profitable. In 1941, a long-range gun was installed on the upper station by the German occupier, and that marked the end of the operation.
Between 1958 and 1982, the connection was carried out by a cable car with gondolas. This was a failure both technically and financially.
In the period 2005-2006 the project was completely renovated. The newly built lower and upper stations are now connected by an automatic operating system, with four cabins moving along the inclined track. The use is free .

Hello lovers of the paths.
I'm still a little nostalgic to ride on these old railroad tracks, humans have sweated to build it, and here it took sacred workers to build the viaducts and bridges that we use.
So not only is it beautiful, calm, but steeped in history.
Mandatory passage to connect Dieppe to Tréport.
Nice discovery to all

Built at the end of the 16th century, the Villa Briançon was bought in 1686 by Anne Marie Louise of Orléans, the Grande Mademoiselle, to build an orphanage there. Renovated, then transformed into a hospice until 1955, restored at the end of the 20th century, it houses the town hall and temporary exhibitions.

First gravel ride with Komoot, good but I need a bike GPS to follow the track (only the watch for now).
And a puncture at the end, which cuts the ride short
