Fultot is a small farming village situated in the Pays de Caux, some 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Dieppe, at the junction of the D50, D20 and D37 roads. The name probably originates from an Old Norse word meaning "intruders", and in Sweden there is the similarly-named village of "Fulltofta". Several other place-names in Normandy and Brittany are also believed to be derived from Scandinavian words.
