Fecamp is a coastal town in the Seine-Maritime department of Upper Normandy.
Fecamp, like nearby Etretat, is well placed for exploring the dramatic cliffs and rock formations of the cote d'alabatre (the alabaster coast). The town developed around fishing - herring has been fished from here since the Middle Ages - and fishing continues to be an important activity for Fécamp into the 21st century, although tourism now plays an important role.
The other important claim to fame of the town is for its Benedictine liqueur - still brewed in the town, and you should find an opportunity to visit the distillery and sample it!
The town is appealing because of its continued reliance on fishing - Fécamp is not give over to tourism like many towns along the coast.
The promenade around the port and along the seafront is also a pleasant way to pass the time.
