Discovery of Veules-les-Roses
A little gem on the Alabaster Coast: this is what best defines Veules-les-Roses, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. A well-deserved reward: with its beautiful half-timbered houses and mills, Veules-les-Roses has everything to seduce you.
Discover Veules-les-Roses, less than 30 minutes from the La Tour aux crabes hotel in Dieppe.
The village, one of the oldest in the Pays de Caux, was a popular holiday resort in the 19th century, particularly popular with Victor Hugo.
You too will fall under the spell of its narrow streets and its seaside...
Veules-les-Roses, where the smallest river in France flows, has everything to please.
Prepare yourself for a timeless stroll, to the sound of water flowing through the wheels of the 4 mills that still exist.
Go back in time along the paths that line the Veules, and take the Champs Élysées, which cross the woods.
Veules-les-Roses has kept its old-world charm: as you walk, you will pass seaside-style villas, flower-filled cottages, the watering hole...
Visit the Saint-Martin church: listed as a Historic Monument, it has remarkable sculpted sandstone pillars and a 17th-century organ that still works!
As you push on to the outskirts of the village, to the sources of the Veules, you will see the watercress beds.
Veules watercress, renowned for its taste and the finesse of its leaves, has been cultivated there since the 14th century.
It is no wonder that Veules-les-Roses has inspired so many artists. The village still has around ten places of creation and exhibition today.
Follow in the footsteps of Victor Hugo, and visit the cave where the writer liked to take refuge to meditate and observe the horizon.
Don't forget to make a final stop on the sand and pebble beach, to admire the changing blues of the ocean.
Before enjoying a delicious meal at the brasserie of the hotel La Tour aux crabes where you can extend this journey - this time gustatory - between land and sea.
