Ault

If you arrive in Dieppe or Calais, you probably leave right away, but it's worthwhile to travel to Ault. It is surely not to be missed because it is traditionally French, off the beaten tourist path, and distinguished by its white cliffs. You may savor French seafood prepared for locals rather than tourists here, and you'll also be treated to stunning landscape.

Ault, one of France's most stunning coastal towns, is another hidden gem that is near to Dieppe. This small town doesn't emphasize ostentatious extravagance in its design; rather, its white cliffs, beaches, and traditionalism add to its allure. Life doesn't get any better than this, so purchase a tiny bicycle and ride around town with a content heart. Ault is filled with life and laughter thanks to the charming alleyways, laneways, and byways, each of which has a tale to tell.
