Unfortunately the chapel is closed for renovation.
However, the path rewards us with a beautiful distant view of Étretat, Falsise d'Aval and, on the other side, the rock gate of the Falsise d'Amount.

These famous rocks are a must-see. You can enjoy the view, but you should be aware of what happened here during World War II.

The viewpoint over the beach of Étretat offers a picturesque view of the impressive chalk cliffs and the charming coastal town. From up here, the view sweeps far over the English Channel and the iconic rock formations, such as the famous "elephant trunk" of the Falaise d'Aval. On clear days, the view is particularly beautiful, while the coast presents itself in various shades of blue and green.

The path to the chapel, which towers majestically above the town, leads along the cliffs and is rewarded with a wide view of Étretat. Although the chapel is currently being renovated, the climb is worth it to experience the coast in all its glory. On one side, the mighty rock gate of Falaise d'Aval, on the other side the arch of Falaise d'Amont - an impressive sight that reflects the wild beauty of this coast.

Those who walk along here not only feel the nature, but also the history that is rooted in this landscape. Sturdy shoes are advisable, as the wind on the cliffs can be strong and the rocky ground requires a sure footing. But all this reinforces the feeling of being part of this unique coastal landscape that has fascinated artists and travelers for centuries.

The cliffs are simply a dream. A highlight of a holiday in Normandy. I highly recommend a hike right along the cliffs. There's something for everyone, whether it's a short or long hike.
