Art on Sainte-Adresse beach near Le Havre
Not far from Havre (France), Sainte-Adresse is a former fishing village, which became later a seaside resort.
There is today a nice (and sometime windy) walk along the coast. The beach is full of pebbles of various size and some artists have made the most of it.
Monet, Corot or Raoul Dufy came to paint the sea at Sainte-Adresse.
Claude Monet stayed in Sainte-Adresse in the home of his aunt, Sophie Lecadre, from June 1867 until near winter and painted many canvasses there. Just search on the Internet for “Sainte-Adresse Monet” and you will be rewarded with a good collection of Monet’s works.
