sea-port town of France, and capital of a district of the same name, is seated in the province of Normandy, on the English channel, in a large plain at the mouth of the river Seine. It is a small fortified town, nearly of a square figure, divided into two parts by the harbour, surrounded with a wall and other works, and defended by a very strong citadel. It is one of the most important places in France, on account of its foreign trade and convenient harbour; for which reason it was made a distinct government from the rest of Normandy. It was surprised in 1562 by the Protestants, who delivered it to Queen Elizabeth; but it was lost next year. In 1694 it was bombarded by the English, and also in the year 1758. E. Long. o. ii. N.
