Dieppe's tourist office is on the pont Ango,
which separates the ferry harbour from the pleasure port; you can't
miss it if you're arriving by ferry (May, June & Sept Mon-Sat
9am-1pm & 2-7pm, Sun 10am-1pm & 3-6pm; July & Aug Mon-Sat
9am-1pm & 2-8pm, Sun 10am-1pm & 3-6pm; rest of year Mon-Sat
9am-noon & 2-6pm; tel 02.32.14.40.60, www.mairie_dieppe.fr
). A beach annexe where quai Duquesne reaches the oceanfront is open in
summer only (mid-June to mid-Sept Mon-Thurs & Sun 10am-7.30pm, Fri
& Sat 10am-8pm). The main post office is at 2 bd Maréchal-Joffre (Mon-Fri 8.30am-6pm, Sat 8.30am-noon; tel 02.35.04.70.14).
Between one and three Hoverspeed SuperSeaCat ferries sail daily, all year round, between Newhaven and Dieppe's gare maritime
, taking little over two hours for the crossing; for information call
08.20.00.35.55. Motorists coming off the boats are directed away from
the town, and have to double back west to reach it; foot passengers can
either walk the 500m to the tourist office, or take the €2.29 shuttle
buses that connect with each sailing.
Dieppe's gare SNCF is another 500m south of the tourist office, on boulevard Clemenceau, and trains are much the quickest way to get to Rouen or Paris. Buses along the coast leave from the gare routière alongside.
