Seine Maritime

Seine-Maritime department is located in northern France, in the Normandy region, at the mouth of the Seine River on the English Channel coast, and its capital is the historic city of Rouen. The department is known for Rouen's Gothic cathedral, the major port city of Le Havre (a UNESCO World Heritage site for its post-war reconstruction by Auguste Perret), and the famous white cliffs of Étretat. Its economy combines port and petrochemical industries, agriculture, and coastal and historical tourism. The cost of living in the department is reasonable, and Rouen, less than an hour and a half from Paris, is a good option for commuting.

Rouen, Le Havre, Dieppe

• Université de Rouen Normandie - The Normandy region's main university, with a wide range of programs.
• Université Le Havre Normandie - A university in the port city, with programs in transport, logistics, science, languages and more.

Rouen and Le Havre are medium-sized cities with student, historic and working-class neighborhoods. You should be careful around stations and in some cheaper neighborhoods, but much of the cities are well suited for student life. Smaller coastal towns like Dieppe are calmer.

TER and Intercités trains connect Rouen and Le Havre to Paris and other Normandy cities. Cities have active bus and tram/tram-train networks (for example in Rouen).
