Start from the Tourist Office, cross the Pont Ango bridge and walk along Quai du Carénage to the Pont Colbert bridge (on the GR 21 national hiking trail). That swinging metal structure dates from the late 19th century.
On the far side, you will find yourself in the Pollet District, the oldest part of town where Dieppe’s fishermen lived. Turn left onto Quai de la Marne.
Continue on to Place du Petit Fort, then turn veer right onto Chemin de la Bastille. Climb the stairs to Rue Samuel de Champlain. Turn left on that street, then left again on Rue Nicolas Desliens, to Rue Balidar.
Finally, turn left one last time on Rue Albert Calmette until you reach Notre-Dame de Bonsecours Chapel.
The esplanade offers superb panoramic views of the port and the town in the foreground and the cliffs in the background.
