Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • France and Monaco ↗France has run temporary identity checks at its internal Schengen land borders since 2015; carry a passport or EU/EEA national ID on trains and buses from Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
  • France and Monaco ↗Nights in France and Monaco draw on the same Schengen 90-in-180-day allowance as the rest of the area; Monaco does not reset or pause it.
  • France ↗France is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors' fingerprints and photo at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
  • France ↗TGV (including the low-cost Ouigo) and Intercités night trains need a seat reservation: a rail pass alone does not let you board.
  • France ↗Paris, Lyon and other large cities run low-emission zones that require a Crit'Air sticker on cars; check before you drive a hire car or your own car into a city.
  • France ↗Carry your passport or national ID card: police can ask for identification, and hotels register foreign guests.

Dieppe is a working fishing and ferry port on the Normandy coast, about 2 hours from Paris by train and 4 hours from Newhaven by boat. It is the closest seaside town to Paris, with a pebble beach, a rebuilt 17th-century centre, brick architecture and a serious seafood restaurant scene. Most visitors pass through in a day; one night is enough to see it properly, two if you cycle the Avenue Verte.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

The centre is small and walkable: beach, harbour, castle and old town are all within about 20 minutes on foot. Bikes can be hired for a few euros a day near the tourist office in the harbour area, useful for the Avenue Verte. Local buses cover the suburbs; a car is only worth it for the coast villages.

Watch out

Safety

Dieppe is a small, safe town; the real risks are cold wind and rain off the Channel, slippery pebbles on the beach, and late-night bar crowds on Quai Henri IV at weekends.
  • The beach is pebbles, not sand: bring shoes you can walk on.
  • Many seafront restaurants and bars close or cut hours outside May–September.
  • Ferry foot-passenger spaces on DFDS to Newhaven are limited: book ahead.
  • The 1942 raid museum is only open mid-June to end of September, closed Tuesdays.
  • Check the tourist office hours by season; it closes Sundays from October to March.
