Fécamp 2025

Herring and Scallop Festival

Every autumn, the scent of grilled fish mingles with that of smoked wood and sea spray.
On the quays of Fécamp, sailors, grillers and the curious gather to celebrate two treasures of the sea: herring and scallops.

The whole town is alive with tradition, music and conviviality, to the rhythm of the longboats and the sea chanteys…
Welcome to the Herring and Scallop Festival!
