Porte d'Aval Arch (Étretat)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The arduous, steep ascent from the promenade is rewarded with a breathtaking view of the village, the cliffs and the sea!

Impressive (or impressionistic!) view of La Manneporte

Highlight • Other

Here you will have a superb view of the first cliffs of Étretat including La Manneporte. Impossible not to think of Monnet's painting which made this site legendary and immortal. No more postcards, you'll see impressionist paintings with your own eyes.

If you have the time, there are paths that lead you to the foot of the cliff, where you can appreciate the landscape in a different way. Be careful, however, of the tides.

La Manneporte

Highlight • Natural Monument

You can cycle up to the spur above the second arch (Manneporte). From here, the view extends south to the oil port of Le Havre-Antifer

Pointe de la Courtine Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A magnificent view point over the Alabaster coast, the sea and the cliffs.
The Pointe de la Courtine is a rocky outcrop from which you can see the white chalk cliff interspersed with brown-black layers of flint. You have one foot in Étretat, congratulations!

View of the Alabaster Coast

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you take this path, you will be entitled to splendid views of the Alabaster coast. At this point, we begin to perceive the impressive cliffs that open onto the English Channel. Take your cameras !

Panoramic Trail of the Cliffs of Étretat

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Well built and paved path on the cliffs with tolerable panoramic views of the arches and the pinnacle in the sea. A must for any admirer of Leblanc's novel character Arsène Lupine, along with the Le Clos Lupine museum on rue Guy de Maupassant.

Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde and View of the Cliffs of Étretat

Highlight • Religious Site

From the sailor's chapel dedicated to Notre-dame-de-la-Garde, you have a view of Etretat. Further on, beyond the long pebble beach, De Maupassant saw the "elephant dipping its trunk into the sea": he was referring to the Porte d'Aval, an amazingly carved rock arch.

Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde

Highlight • Other

After a mission preached from the pulpit by Father Michel in 1854, the inhabitants decided to build a church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. The material intended for the construction was fetched by the sailors using only their arms and hands. On August 6, 1856, the church was consecrated.
After its destruction in 1942, a new chapel was built and consecrated on August 22, 1950.
