The cliffs

 

Courtine, Manneporte, falaises d'Aval et d'Amont, le roc Vaudieu and l'Aiguille de Belval, these are the mysterious names of these sculptures carved by the waves into the chalk and flint of the plateau of Pays de Caux. Some will see the head of an elephant dipping its trunk in the waves, others, as Maupassant will claim that a ship could cross the arcade of the Manneporte. It is up to you to decide.

 

 

The man's hole

 

Once in 1792, when the sea was raging, a Swedish boat was thrown against the cliffs. The inhabitants of Etretat could only see the horror of the shipwreck. After 24 hours, the winds calmed down and the waves withdrew, revealing a cave at the bottom of which a man was laying. Simply unconscious, he woke up as he was carried to a common grave to join his unfortunate comrades. The "hole" that reminds us of this episode is now drilled and makes it possible to reach the beach of Jambourg. The passage is only passable at low tide. Check out the tide schedules before you go for a walk.

 The old market

Once a farm, then a pond, the place became eventually a market. Small wooden buildings were replaced with market halls, now animated by charming shops.

Nungesser and Coli Monument

This amazing spire, which has stood above the city since 1963, pays tribute to the two airmen who first attempted, on May 8, 1927, to cross the Atlantic Ocean aboard the White Bird.

 

The golf course of Etretat

This course benefits from an exceptional location. Playing golf in Étretat, perched more than 50 metres above the sea, is a fantastic experience. So what about the legendary hole N°10?

 

 

The Gardens of Etretat

They overlook the city, with a unique view of the cliffs of Aval and the famous Aiguille. The plant sculptures that compose them are inspired by the Normandy coast and more particularly by the unique landscapes of Etretat.
