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...

Attention, les balades sous les falaises sont réglementées, veuillez vous reporter à l'arrêté municipal.

  

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.
