Dieppe's high street, now pedestrian, was built on a thoroughfare used by the Gauls who kept watch by moving from one cliff to another at a time when the town was little more than marshland. It is lined with white-brick houses, rebuilt after damage from English cannon fire in 1694. The wrought iron balconies were made by the ironsmiths of Arques-la-Bataille. The pirate, Balidar, lived at no. 21 (Café du Globe). An attractive fountain dating from 1631 stands in the courtyard of no. 77.
