クヴェルヴィルのおすすめツーリングルート

The cliffs are simply a dream. A highlight of a holiday in Normandy. I highly recommend a hike right along the cliffs. There's something for everyone, whether it's a short or long hike.

Unfortunately, the road is closed from here on. So we had to drive all the way back down, which was a bit frustrating. The campsite has cut off all connecting paths to the bike path there.

Highly recommended is the ride on the Velo-Rails, which takes you directly down to Etretat. All you have to do is pedal, like riding a bike. It's basically the same, only on old rails. Then you return in an old retro train. Absolutely beautiful. And since our little one was only 4 months old at the time, we were able to easily strap a baby car seat onto the seat and transport the folded stroller frame with us.

View of the chalk cliffs and rock arch with the limestone pinnacle behind them. The title "Belvedere" is well deserved.

Yport beach is a real insider tip on the Alabaster Coast. The pebbly beach offers you a fantastic view of the white cliffs that stretch along the coast and, in combination with the sea, create an impressive panorama. Yport itself has retained the charm of a small Norman fishing village, and a stroll along the promenade is the perfect way to absorb the tranquil atmosphere of this place. Along the coast you can enjoy the fresh sea air and stop off at one of the small restaurants to try freshly caught seafood. The beach is particularly interesting at low tide, when small snails and mussels cover the rocks and the tides change the landscape. Yport also offers you much more peace and quiet than busy Étretat and is ideal for a relaxing day by the sea. The view of the cliffs and the sea is truly unique, and if you like it cozy, you can sit down on the promenade with a drink and just enjoy nature

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

The Feu de la jetée Sud near Fécamp is a special destination for lighthouse fans and offers impressive views over the coast and the harbor. The combination of the striking red and white tower and the adjacent wooden jetty construction gives the scenery a unique character. While walking along the pier, you can watch the waves crashing against the wooden structure while the wind blows around the lighthouse. On a clear day, the horizon stretches far out to sea and the contrast between the turquoise water and the cliffs makes the place a picturesque viewpoint.
