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.

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.

This is probably one of the most popular motifs for photography and painting. It's amazing what nature creates.

Beautiful, small bay that invites you to take a short break during the hike.

The coastal path along the Falaise near Étretat is a true journey of discovery for the senses. The path takes you from the Jardins d'Étretat to Vattetot-sur-Mer, always along the impressive cliffs. The landscape changes constantly with the light, and every hour offers a new, picturesque setting reminiscent of the works of the Impressionists. It is as if you are walking through a living painting. This path offers you countless views of the rugged beauty of the Alabaster Coast, with the mighty cliffs rising majestically above the sea. It is a quiet path, away from the large crowds of tourists, which gives you the opportunity to experience nature in all its glory. It is best to pack a picnic blanket, as there are no benches along the path, but many places that are perfect for a rest. The hike up here on the cliffs not only offers breathtaking panoramas, but also interesting geological formations where you can see the different sedimentary layers of the coast. An absolute highlight for every hiker who wants to experience Normandy in all its diversity.

Tilleul Beach is a wonderful place to enjoy the tranquility of the Normandy coast. With its white chalk cliffs that dramatically extend into the sea and the idyllic pebble beach, it provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing stroll. What makes this beach particularly exciting is the opportunity to explore a small grotto. If you're curious enough, the path will take you through this natural cave, and on the other side, you'll be rewarded with fantastic views of the sea. Be careful of the tides, though – they can change quickly, and you could get wet if you wait too long! It's best to pack your swimsuit just in case. The pebble beach is perfect for taking a break during your hike and enjoying the view of the impressive cliffs. Locals and hikers alike gather here to appreciate Normandy's unspoiled nature. A truly worthwhile hike along the Alabaster Coast, where you can experience both the cliffs from above and the water up close.
