it is said QUEEN of the alabaster coast... For multiple reasons besides because one knows already that it is the oldest seaside and climatic resort of the hexagon since the pebble beaches under Napoleon 1st attracted a number of Parisians - already! - despite of iodized air. 1936 and the paid-leaves will see a true tidal wave on the city and its area... The pleasures and the benefits of the sea water baths could be known and shared by all, Dieppe was one of the first witnesses. Town of holidays but also town of travellers Dieppe accomodated whole trains ‘ travellers and goods which left on board the first car-ferries for England! Cargo liners charged with fruits, steamers filled with cosmopolitan and variegated, fishing travellers and traders bustling at the place which one called the End of the Quay... Dieppe is also a town of tradition with its workers in ivory who worked this matter, today with the regulated trade, in an incredible way. This great artistic dieppoisan tradition is unfortunately disappearing and only some Masters still work to perpetuate this knowledge which little knows. Also, even one April 1, do not be surprised if you see some teeth of cachalots carved with for mention "speciality of Dieppe"... It is only a genine truth!
