I have found another way to approach Dieppe and it’s lovely. Having fought your way out of Rouen - making sure you do not end up in Le Havre for city road signs insist on taking you to the motorway – well play it right and you end up on the D3.
It’s a lovely road, called ‘La Route Du Valle’ that lives up to its name. You pass through some pretty French towns as it takes you gently along the river Scie, with cows grazing in green fields. For this is the land of all things dairy and much more.
Yes, it’s a wonderful ride with comforting signs announcing that you are on the “Cycle Route of Apples and Cider”. The tourist board welcomes you and then suddenly, like a jilted bride, they drop you onto the frenzied highways that is car land for the last section into Dieppe. But don’t let that put you off, the courtship is wonderful.
