      The cliffs surrounding Ault beach are made of Upper Cretaceous chalk, more precisely from the terminal Turonian and Coniacian (approximately 83 Ma to 90 Ma). They are dotted with flint nodules that highlight the sub-horizontal stratification planes (the formation of flint has already been discussed in À la découverte géologique des falaises d'Étretat, presentation of an excursion going from Tilleul beach (Antifer) to Porte d'Amont (Étretat Nord)). The relative proportion between chalk and flint is approximately 90-95% chalk for 5-10% flint.
      The flint horizons are stratigraphic markers. On the cliffs around Ault, the regular band of flint called Seven Sisters is recognizable and characterizes the limit between the Middle Coniacian and the Upper Coniacian (approximately 87 Ma). The boundary between the Lower and Middle Coniacian is marked by the Shoreham 2 marl level, which is more difficult to identify. These lithostratigraphic markers allow in particular the correlation of distant deposits, such as for example between the Normandy and Picardy coasts, or between the French and English coasts.

        You can do a civilized walk along the cliff in the city. There are many benches and the view is amazing all over. Easily one of the highlights of the town
