Welcome To Etretat
We invite you to visit an exceptional natural site where the spectacle of the cliffs carved in openings, needles and pinnacles will take your breath away. Formerly a fishing village, Etretat is transformed into a resort in the nineteenth century and became a place of inspiration.
The play of the sunlight, arches, needle and flint caves
Beautiful, majestic and luminous, the Etretat cliffs are world famous. The natural openings of the resort, which are classified as a Site of Major National Importance, are known as:
- Porte d'Amont,
- Porte d'Aval,
- Manneporte,
At low tide, just walk a few steps along the beach and the 17thCentury oyster beds and the legendary "trou à l'homme" or manhole can be seen. Along marked-out pathways you can feast your eyes on the fascinating flora and fauna: herring gulls, arctic fulmars and peregrine falcons...
Please note that red grass and sea cabbage are protected plants species
Take the coastal walk on the Perrey - the small garden there is worth a detour since it includes an impressive plant nursery.
