Note 53 — Chapter II · THE LIGHTHOUSES OF CAPE LA HEVE. A.D. 1774.
Reading edition
Saint-Denys-Chef-de-Caux was formerly the port of the town now called Sainte-Adresse. Here Henry V. disembarked, in 1415, when he laid siege to Harfleur. But the sea, gradually encroaching on the Cape, has destroyed the village, the port, and the church where St. Denys was worshipped.
