Chateau Musee de Dieppe — Attraction in Dieppe

A great looking building stood in a prominent position over the town and beach. You would expect there to be a tour of the building to see the historic structure, but no, there is a small museum inside all described in French, which is the same for most of the lessor historic sites here in Normandy. The museum would have been a little more interesting if we could understand the described pieces on display, though it was only €4.50 each for entry and those under 25 years old are free.

The Chateau is a lovely place, it’s very old & historic. The view from there is fantastic! The tickets are around 5 euros small children don’t pay. There’s the bottom part of the castle available, you cannot access towers. It’s like a museum & gallery in one. There’s an Ivory museum too. But gutted as there wasn’t an English guide to read so didn’t actually learn anything about the history of this place. It’s open currently 10-12 & 2-5 and shut otherwise. There’s free toilets on the premises, it has entrances from the bottom & top of the castle. I wish the people working there were a bit more pleasant but as a sightseeing & historical place it’s lovely. Family friendly. Recommended to visit...

Not worth the entry fee (students enter free) although the views of the seafront are worth climbing up the hill for. Don't risk ruining your mood for this museum which has a very subpar...
