In addition to the Cap de la Hève, the chalk cliffs of the Cap d’Antifer serve as a secondary landmark for reaching Le Havre. After the Cap de la Hève had had a lighthouse since the 1790s, the Commission des Phares decided in 1890 to build a lighthouse on the Cap d'Antifer. The first tower had a total height of 32.50 m and was equipped with optics with a focal length of 1.33 m, which was large for the time. The optics came from the French company Barbier et Cie, were previously an exhibit at the World Exhibition in 1889 and were the only optics of such a large focal length ever installed in France.
Originally operated with mineral oil and wick burners, the light source was changed to strong light lamps and petroleum in 1905. In 1926 the lighthouse was electrified using diesel generators. The range was 31 miles.
The original lighthouse was completely destroyed by German troops in September 1944.
First temporarily replaced by a mast, the current lighthouse was built in the 1950s and put into operation in 1955

La Poterie-Cap d'Antifer

Highlight • Other

Long an agricultural town, La Poterie-Cap-d'Antifer has had a relatively peaceful history interspersed with Norman and English invasions. But it was mainly in the 20th century, during the Second World War, that the village distinguished itself with, in particular, the destruction of a German radar by British paratroopers and Norman resistance fighters in February 1942 as part of Operation Biting. . The lighthouse itself suffered from the events with its destruction in 1944 during a bombardment.

Étretat

Highlight • Settlement

People come to Etretat for the sea and the cliffs. The tourists, with cameras around their necks, have made this fishing village a world famous place, but they also spoil the atmosphere on the busiest days. Still, the place keeps its charm; the spectacle of the cliffs at sunset is so grandiose that everyone should see it once in their life.

Cliffs of Étretat

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The route along the coast goes along wooded roads. Beautiful properties and small towns line the route. Some views of the coast. A steep descent to Yport. After passing through the CAMPING SITE.

When descending to Fecamp, there are individual roadblocks to be passed in the campsite. The route can also be bypassed.

The return journey is quick along small roads and dirt tracks. The only highlight is the train station in Les Loges. For enthusiasts!

Le Tilleul

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish church of Tilleul is named after Saint Martin. It is made up of a large nave rebuilt in the 18th century. separated from the aisles by semi-circular arcades supported by Tuscan columns. The choir, which was spared during the reconstruction, is a testimony to the old building located at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. It ends with an apse with three cut sides. The prismatic section arches which support the vaults fall on lamp bases. Elegant pendants adorn the keystones. The elevation is one story. The tracery windows are flamboyant in style. The opening above the main hall is wider and preserves stained glass windows representing the crucifixion, scenes from the life of Saint Martin and the legend of Saint Hubert, some fragments of which date from the origin of the building. The stone baptismal font with prismatic molding is probably from the beginning of the 16th century. On the triumphal arch, a polychrome wooden Christ is a work of the 15th century. The sacristy is an old stately chapel dating from 1601. For the work to reinforce and cover the slate bell tower, topped with a spire, the Safeguarding of French Art granted aid of 25,000 F in 1993.
