Formed underwater millions of years ago, the cliffs are composed of deposits of pale calcareous marine organisms and the skeletons of siliceous organisms. They then rose to form these flint-strewn limestone giants. They appear particularly resilient, yet they are fragile and constantly changing: wind, tides, rainwater infiltration, frost and subsequent thawing weaken them. Erosion leads to regular landslides and cliff retreat.

You can enjoy Étretat and the chalk cliffs of the Alabaster Coast to the fullest outside of peak times, that is, early in the morning, late in the evening or in spring, autumn and even winter. The advantage: you can experience the chalk cliffs of Étretat in peace and quiet, bathed in beautiful light, while protecting the environment. Traveling to Étretat consciously can also mean staying overnight on site to discover the surrounding area or using public transport for your visit. Did you know that you can admire the breathtaking chalk cliffs of Normandy over a total of 130 kilometers? For example, while hiking on the Alabaster Coast long-distance hiking trail or cycling on the Vélomaritime long-distance cycle path. Good to know: The municipality of Étretat is currently working to have Étretat and its chalk cliffs declared a "Grand Site de France", an outstanding tourist attraction that focuses on sustainable tourism.

Étretat is a place that retains its own magic despite the tourist hustle and bustle. The imposing rocky cliffs and the roaring sea attract numerous visitors every year. The whole spectacle unfolds especially at sunset: the three rock gates - Porte d'Aval with the Aiguille, Manneporte and Porte d'Amont - glow in the warm light of the setting sun and cast long shadows on the pebble beach. This sight is unforgettable and shows why Étretat has inspired artists and hikers alike for centuries. If you are here a little off peak times, you will feel the peace and the special atmosphere of the former fishing village. The cliffs seem even more imposing and the contrast between the white limestone and the blue sea is simply fascinating. Even with the many cameras aimed at the rocks, Étretat remains an authentic place that shows nature in all its raw beauty. A stroll through the narrow streets and along the coast lets you immerse yourself in the history of this place that enchanted Claude Monet and Guy de Maupassant

As you walk along the cliffs of Étretat, the view of La Manneporte will transport you straight to another time. It's almost impossible not to think of Monet's famous paintings that immortalized this place. The huge rock formation looks impressive rising out of the sea and it feels like you're walking through an impressionist painting. There are no postcard images here - you see the artwork with your own eyes. If you have some time, you can take the path all the way down to the base of the cliffs. The path takes you to a completely different level where you can experience the landscape from a new perspective. But watch out for the tides - they change quickly! This tour is ideal for anyone who wants to experience the rugged nature of the Alabaster Coast and the views of the cliffs and the sea will stay with you for a long time.

The Falaises d'Étretat on the Alabaster Coast are one of the most impressive natural landscapes in Normandy. The chalk cliffs, up to 100 metres high and interspersed with dark layers of flint, stretch majestically along the coast and seem to hold their ground inexorably against the gnawing waves of the English Channel. Over time, maritime erosion has formed fascinating rock formations such as the famous arches La Porte d'Aval and La Porte d'Amont, as well as the striking rock needle L'Aiguille, which rises 51 metres high out of the sea. Étretat itself, once a small fishing port, has developed into a charming coastal town that has retained its character. The chalk cliffs were an inexhaustible source of inspiration for numerous artists, including Claude Monet, who immortalised the extraordinary beauty of this coast in many of his works. Anyone who visits the Falaises d'Étretat can experience the rugged beauty of this landscape up close on the cliff paths. Along the way there are spectacular viewpoints that offer a view of the vast coastal landscape and the deep blue sea. The descent into the town of Étretat is particularly impressive, where the historic promenade and the remains of bunkers from the Second World War are a reminder of the region's turbulent history. The forces of nature that have been at work here for thousands of years have created a unique panorama that captivates not only hikers and nature lovers, but also art lovers.

The white chalk cliffs, interspersed with brown-black layers of flint, extend about 100 metres in a north-westerly direction into the English Channel. The cliffs themselves are also known as Falaises d’Aval. Their northern, very narrow end forms a high rock arch called an ark.

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.

The Pointe de la Courtine offers a breathtaking view of the white chalk cliffs, the sea and the rock formations of the Roc Vaudieu and the Aiguille de Belval. The trail has some steep and rocky sections, so expect some elevation gain and technical terrain. You can enjoy the beauty and diversity of this course all year round.

🤣 That's right, the rock formation really looks like a drinking horse. This definitely falls into the category of "Grandma fell into the toilet" stories. Because before I read the above comment, it didn't look like that to me. But now it immediately catches my eye.

A pretty path with great views away from the "hustle and bustle"

Breathtakingly beautiful for us, we are now at a height of 87 meters, with a view of the Pointe de la Courtine, a rocky outcrop. This protrudes around 100 meters into the Atlantic. Once we reach this point, we enjoy the panorama that inspired Claude Monet. Let's look at the Falaise de Manneporte with the largest rock arch on the Alabaster Coast. We join a small queue for the view from l'Oeil du Panda, a rock window. You still need a little patience today. Everyone takes their time to look at this. Rightly so! A really beautiful perspective, as if through a window, the water below us is turquoise blue, the cliffs rise and the sound of the water reflects on the rock walls directly around us. An indescribable moment.
