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.

customs path at the top!

very nice lawn for moles!!!!

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.

The route takes you along the famous cliffs that plunge dramatically into the Atlantic. The three striking rock arches are particularly impressive: Porte d'Amont, Porte d'Aval and Manneporte. Every step along the way reveals new, breathtaking views of these natural monuments. The well-maintained path winds along the coast and offers numerous photo opportunities. Whether you are a fan of Arsène Lupin or want to discover the places that Claude Monet immortalized in his paintings, this hiking trail fascinates with its mix of nature and culture. Don't forget to wear sturdy shoes, as the path can be rocky in places. It is particularly beautiful to experience the sunset from the cliffs when the rocks are bathed in warm light and the sea sparkles. A tip: If you are interested in literature, you can visit the nearby Le Clos Lupin museum, which is also dedicated to the fictional character Arsène Lupin
