Étretat, nestled along the dramatic coast of Normandy, is a place where land and sea meet in breathtaking harmony. Famous for its towering white-chalk cliffs, sculpted by centuries of wind and waves, the town offers some of France’s most unforgettable coastal scenery.

The natural arches—Porte d’Aval, Porte d’Amont, and the needle-like Aiguille rising from the sea—have long captivated painters, writers, and travelers. Claude Monet and other Impressionists immortalized these shapes in their glowing canvases, drawn by the ever-changing play of light on cliff and water.

But Étretat is more than its cliffs. Its pebble beach, charming village streets, and gentle seaside promenades create a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for wandering, reflecting, or simply watching the tides roll in. From the clifftop paths, sweeping views stretch across the Channel, turning every moment into a postcard scene.

A place of beauty and quiet drama, Étretat feels both timeless and alive, a coastal jewel that continues to inspire all who visit.
