Fecamp Attractions 
Fécamp (pop. 21,479) is an old-established seaside resort with a fishing and a commercial harbor. The writer Guy de Maupassant lived in Fécamp for some time, and some of his stories are set in the town. On a 114 m/374ft high chalk cliff to the north of the town is the pilgrimage chapel of Notre-Dame- du-Salut (13th-14th C.).
The main feature of interest in the town, apart from the harbors, is the former abbey church of Ste-Trinité, which was built in the 12th-13th C. and later partly rebuilt. The interior is remarkably spacious; notable features are the fine choir screen (1868), the choir-stalls (1748), a handsome Renaissance altar behind the high altar and a sculpture of the "Death of the Virgin" (1519) in the south transept.
