If you are looking for a scenic and peaceful hike in Normandy, you can visit the Valleuse de Grainval, a natural valley that leads to the sea near Fécamp. Here you can admire the cliffs and the beach, where a spring called Le Rocher qui pleure flows over the rocks. There is also a small chapel whose stained glass windows represent maritime scenes. This place inspired the impressionist painter Claude Monet who painted a canvas there in 1881.

Beyond the Horizon

October 1, 2024

A trip to the "weeping rock" at Valleuse de Grainval is a peaceful and picturesque experience that is particularly appealing to nature lovers. The valley leads gently down to the sea, where the spring "Le Rocher qui pleure" runs in narrow streams over the moss-covered rocks. The scenery is fascinating and offers a special tranquility accompanied by the gentle surf of the sea.

The view of the enormous limestone cliffs that dominate the horizon and frame the beach is particularly impressive. Following in the footsteps of Claude Monet, who painted a painting here, it is easy to imagine why this place inspires artists. The small chapel, which is located nearby, blends harmoniously into the coastal landscape with its stained glass windows depicting maritime scenes.

A walk along the pebble beach with a view of the wide sea and the impressive rock formations makes a visit to Valleuse de Grainval an unforgettable experience in Normandy.
