    What can be said about the place that has not already been said...
    An Impressionist landmark, painted by Monet, this is where the action of Arsène Lupin's novel The Hollow Needle takes place.
    The view is a gift for those who reach it by climbing up on their bike.

    La Porte d'Aval, (the Gate of Aval), a huge flint arcade, was carved out by the waves as they hit the end of the cliff of Aval. "The Needle" (l'Aiguille), 51 metres high, is a witness to the geological past of the cliffs of Etretat.
