Fecamp is situated between cliffs and has a medium sized pleasure boats harbor and a fishing harbor. There are several shopping streets, museums, restaurants and a cathedral.

Fecamp is the home of the Benedictine liquor which is still made there. There are several large German bunker complexes in the cliffs.

Every Saturday morning there is an open air, and an indoor market in front of the Cathedral.

Once a year, Fecamp hosts an international Catamaran race.
During July and August, on the beach, there's a special hut from the local government, that has comfortable chairs, shade and lots of books you can borrow (for free). They even have English books on loan. The read-a-book-on-the-beach is called "Lire A La Plage". More info, click here (in French).
