I didn't do the whole route, but there's a beautiful view of Dieppe harbour and the town centre from Bonsecours Church.
It should probably be pointed out that you need to follow the GR markings at the start, which makes it easier to get going.
In addition, the Colbert bridge is under construction, so you have to make a very slight detour, but it's no big deal.
But it's a very nice walk with benches to admire the views.

Nothing to say about the route itself, which offers a superb view once you reach Bonsecours Chapel
(There was a beautiful exhibition of metal objects that day)

Apart from seeing some pretty houses, I didn't understand the point of crossing the bridge on the left
In the end, it was a visit to a residential neighbourhood with no particular interest

Having caught a glimpse of Dieppe Castle, we decided it would be more interesting to visit it on the way back, where we discovered a breathtaking view of the town

A lovely climb through the narrow streets.
After visiting the little church of Notre Dame de Bonsecours (which is magnificent and quite moving inside!), the walk through the residential area seems rather uninteresting... or so it seems! Indeed, we pass by some pretty houses on the street side, but we find them again on the garden side as we continue our route along the cliff. Their gardens are superb.
There is a beautiful view of Dieppe and the sea.

A wonderful walk on a sunny day! Thank you for the explanations that allowed us to discover these beautiful landscapes, magnificent views and the historic Puys beach. You can easily turn back after crossing the bridge to see the landscapes from a different perspective.

It is a short walk from the centre of Dieppe to the ancient archaeological site of Camp de César: along the way, there are several viewpoints overlooking the ocean and the town centre. The route takes you through residential areas, then more rural areas towards the end, when the description suggests returning to the town centre via a country road. We turned back instead to avoid the traffic.
Can be combined with a visit to the town of Dieppe

An easy and very pleasant walk along the cliffs north of Dieppe. Very well marked. Along the way: beautiful Norman houses, a church and cliffs

A pleasant walk starting in the fishermen's quarter, with a chapel on the cliff, sea views, Puys beach and beautiful Norman villas. On the way back, there is the option of taking the cliff path for those who don't fancy walking down the road. I'm surprised by the distance given, I think it's shorter than that.

The outward journey is more interesting than the return journey. Cliffs, architecture and chapels line the path to Puys beach. The return journey is less appealing, except for those who enjoy looking at houses.

Beautiful view of Dieppe. Don't miss a visit to the little chapel, which, unusually, is open.
It's great that we were able to access the beach.

The return journey is less interesting as we pass through housing estates.

A beautiful, easy hike offering breathtaking views of the town of Dieppe from Neuville, the harbour and the cliffs.
The return journey is less interesting, as it involves walking along a fairly busy road. You will cross the Colbert swing bridge and the lift bridge.
