Despite the beautiful landscape, one should focus on World War II here.

It is located on the Alabaster Coast on the English Channel, just 50 meters from the cliffs, northeast above Étretat on the Falaise d'Amont. The construction of a Catholic chapel on this site was initiated by Father Père Michel in 1854 and also served as a tribute to sailors lost at sea. It was financed with the help of emerging tourism and the first tourists. The chapel, dedicated to sailors and fishermen, was consecrated on August 6, 1856.

The cliffs are simply a dream. A highlight of a holiday in Normandy. I highly recommend a hike right along the cliffs. There's something for everyone, whether it's a short or long hike.

Unfortunately, the road is closed from here on. So we had to drive all the way back down, which was a bit frustrating. The campsite has cut off all connecting paths to the bike path there.

The small chapel "Notre Dame," which is currently being renovated, offers a magnificent view over Étretat.

The Notre-Dame church in Bénouville is a little gem in Normandy that contains a lot of history and art. The choir of the church dates from the late 12th century and impresses with its pointed vaults. The nave was probably built in the 16th or early 17th century. Particularly worth seeing are the frescoes by the religious painter Louis Chifflet from 1895, depicting scenes from the childhood of Christ. Two beautiful wooden statues - Saint Eutrope and Our Lady of the Port - draw attention here. The tombstone of Antoine Gillain, Marquis de Bénouville, from 1768, as well as the coat of arms of the Gillain family, give the interior a historical depth. Another highlight is the remarkable Eucharistic reserve in polychrome stone, crowned by a dove. Despite the often large number of visitors who enliven the village, especially in season, this place retains its charm and offers you a glimpse into the rich history of the region. If you are walking through Bénouville, it is worth taking a short stop here to take in the silence and atmosphere of this historic place
