The Notre-Dame church in Bénouville is a little gem in Normandy that contains a lot of history and art. The choir of the church dates from the late 12th century and impresses with its pointed vaults. The nave was probably built in the 16th or early 17th century. Particularly worth seeing are the frescoes by the religious painter Louis Chifflet from 1895, depicting scenes from the childhood of Christ. Two beautiful wooden statues - Saint Eutrope and Our Lady of the Port - draw attention here. The tombstone of Antoine Gillain, Marquis de Bénouville, from 1768, as well as the coat of arms of the Gillain family, give the interior a historical depth. Another highlight is the remarkable Eucharistic reserve in polychrome stone, crowned by a dove. Despite the often large number of visitors who enliven the village, especially in season, this place retains its charm and offers you a glimpse into the rich history of the region. If you are walking through Bénouville, it is worth taking a short stop here to take in the silence and atmosphere of this historic place

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

Time was too short, otherwise we would have gone in

Unfortunately we were not in the garden today because time was too short

The Jardins d'Étretat offer a fascinating blend of garden art and contemporary sculpture, making a visit a truly special experience. The impressively designed topiary plants and whimsical sculptures create an almost magical atmosphere. Particularly impressive is the Jardin des Émotions, which was inspired by the former oyster farm located at the foot of the garden in the English Channel. The clipped plants evoke the landscapes of the seabed and give the garden a tranquil, almost dreamy feel. In addition to the exceptional garden design, various points in the garden offer breathtaking views of the iconic Aiguille de Étretat, an imposing rock formation along the coast. Here, nature and art merge in a harmonious way rarely found in gardens.

Small, but very well maintained and creatively designed.
